gas prices!

They are really high right now. What do you do to help yourself and the prices of gas?

www.gasbuddy.com
really good website on finding cheap prices in your city. I work in a suburb of Minneapolis and have noticed gas is usually cheaper then actually Minneapolis.

I also drive less! Walk more places, like down the street. My bike is still in Minot, so I just drive less... walk more. Instead of driving to the lake, I will walk to a nearby park to take Lyric. Go to places closer to my apartment and/or take short cuts to work or other places.

I also don't fill my tank, I usually put $10 or $12 in b/c sometimes the prices will go down. And when they do go down - I try to fill up my tank if I can afford it.

When school starts, I will be there all day on Tuesdays, so I will take the bus more then likely - Trent can pick up Lyric at daycare... so that's good.

Next?

gas prices!

Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles! Walking to Cub Foods for a few groceries instead of going on the 'big shopping' trips.
