After yet another trip to a Super Walmart that’s about a 15 min drive away to stock up on things like papertowels and to buy a few toys and household items (I needed a new stock pot and some plastic cups), it hit me how much these occasional trips cost me in gas.

I thought it might be worth my while to see how much it would cost me to buy the same items online and have them shipped. Low and behold… I could have ordered the same items, for the same price and had them shipped free to my home. What an eyeopening experience.

My point is this… Consider the possibility of ordering what you need online and have it shipped to your home. With today’s gas prices, it may end up being cheaper and well worth having to wait a few days to receive the items.  All it takes is a little bit of research online to find the best price. Don’t forget to look for free shipping offers and coupon codes for an even better deal.
