So we make all those trips to Wags and CVS and it doesn't seem like much on the gas but here's a way to calculate how much each trip is costing you per day/week/month/year. Just type in your starting/ending address, cost of gas, mpg that your vehicle gets and how many times per day/week/month you make the trip.
You might be surprised to see how much the gas is adding up for just little trips. And you can start figuring in your gas costs into your savings at each store. (Is the deal worth the expense?)
Hope this helps!
It definitely adds up. When is stopped getting take out for lunch every day at work, not only did I save $8-10 a day on the cost of lunch, my weekly fill-up at the gas station suddenly got stretched to about once every 11 days. I've managed to shave 25% off of my gas budget so far.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it absolutely crazy how fast gas adds up?! I really have to have a good reason to go to town now before I'll go out. I used to just run in whenever I found a good deal. But when I started figuring in gas, I was barely making anything.
ReplyDelete25% shaved off! Thanks incredible!!
