Need Help with Gas Prices? {Thrifty Thursday}

What in the WORLD is going on with gas prices?? I drive an SUV and the gas prices right now are not helping me be thrifty these days!!

Recently, while taking a trip out of town, my husband and I discovered a helpful application on my smart phone called Gasbuddy. If you don’t have a smart phone, you can just use their website. Easy, peasy.

Look! You can search for gas prices in your area and their site is very easy to use.

After you select your search area, you can sort by closest gas station or by price.

As you can see, you can also search by your preferred grade of gasoline.

Before we used this app, we stopped at a gas station that wanted $3.75 per gallon. By using this app, we paid $3.55 per gallon just down the road! 20 cents a gallon in a 30 gallon tank adds up roughly $6…that’s a decaf vanilla latte with soy, 2 Splenda’s, extra hot…and some change to spare!

Living deliberately and intentionally,

  1. I have used gas buddy for a couple of years. I also use my SAMs Business Card and today got an additional 5cents off per gallon. I am happy that we don't have our SUV anymore, if only for the gas prices! Great info! Thanks Sandi!
