Saving on Gas: Make a Grocery List

Make a grocery list.
Do you make a list of all the groceries you or your family need for the week or just grab them when you need them?
Those extra trips to the grocery store can really add up.
The closest store to me is only 1.2 miles away.
But if I make a trip every morning it adds 2.5 miles a day. By the end of the week it's almost 17 miles, that's $4 a week.
Head out just once with a good list and it's just 60 cents.
You save $3.20 a week.
