These links are helpful for finding local gas: gasbuddy.com is great for locating the best prices in a zip code. Fuel calculator will help you figure out the amount/cost of fuel for your road trip.This Top 10 list is one of my favorite links for saving gas. I also wrote this post about saving money at the pump.
3. Sweet savings: My son opted to buy a small piece of candy (individually wrapped) at a gas station for about 5 cents rather than buy a larger box of Lemonhead candies for about 75 cents--thereby saving his teeth and his money. Since he used his own money, this frugal move is not included in my total. But I feature this example to show how my family has rallied behind the $2 a day savings challenge. Everyone is trying to do something for my daily report. It's a healthy competition and with everyone buying into the challenge, we're finding new ways to save more.

This post really inspired me. I am the type of person that thinks "its just a dollar" and is hard pressed to trade convience for a saving anything in the pocket change area.
When I saw how much you had saved in a year- I thought wow- by walking the extra block to the cheaper corner store- I could buy a pair of seven jeans!
Thanks for the post! I am going to throw a memo pad in my purse and start recording!!
