Nostalgia

Remember when it wasn’t painful to go to the gas station? I was relieved today when I showed up and my wallet didn’t scream in protest… but still, gas takes up a huge portion of my budget! My family has become committed to being less dependent on our car and so far, it’s worked pretty good. We only have one vehicle for our family, and thankfully only one tank to fill. My husband works a swing shift, leaving the car available for me in the morning, while he takes it to work at night (thankfully we live close to his place of employment). I’ve decided to list the things that need to be taken care of during the week and try to complete my errands in a simple and efficient manner, only taking the car out maybe once or twice during the week. We live within walking distance of the library, and the kids and I go at least once a week. So far things have been going well. My wallet feels a little thicker, and my heart feels a little lighter doing my part to keep cars off the road. Save a little more moola and check out How to Save Money on Gas.

Todays picture was taken while I was visiting my family in Erie, Pennsylvania. There’s this amazing little ice cream shop near Presque Isle that has fun nostalgic decor. I just loved the orange of this gas pump!

Until next time!
