Things are a little busy right now…tomorrow is our last day of classes for this semester and we’re heading out to visit my family for Christmas (haven’t spent a Christmas with them in 6 years!). I’m sure you’re all busy right now too, but I had a few moments and thought I’d make a quick post.
We’re doing a few things to keep this trip a little cheaper:
- Buying gas with a Wal-Mart giftcard. I’d seen the signs that say you can get 10 cents off each gallon of gas if you purchase it with a gift-card and we bought our first tank-full with a giftcard just yesterday. I think this offer is only good for a little while longer, but at least it will help for the drive up.
- I made up a jug of chocolate milk and one of ice-coffee, plus I have other drinks and snacks for the road, so we won’t be so tempted to buy munchies at convenience stores where it’s more expensive.
- I’ll pack bean and cheese burritos for our lunch tomorrow, that’s such a dirt cheap meal, especially compared to eating out, although we will eat the rest of our meals out while on the road.
Homemade ice-coffee and chocolate milk for the road....so much cheaper than buying bottled drinks!
What’s your favorite way to spend less on a road trip?
