Works For Me Wednesday


I've been trying to make things easier on myself by getting organized. Several weeks ago I cleaned out and organized my truck. While I was doing that I thought of a good idea. It seems like whenever I need gas I am always in a hurry and it's very inconvenient to stop and get gas when I'm running late. So I came up with a plan. Every Sunday we fill the tank up. We are usually driving somewhere that day anyway, and it's easy enough to stop and top it off. It's been so nice to not wait until I think I might run out of gas on the freeway before I stop and get gas. It's been a lot less stressful. So pick a day of the week and fill your vehicle up whether it's empty or not. You'll save yourself a lot of stress and not have to worry about running out of gas.

Go over to Rocks in My Dryer for a lot of great tips.

That's a great idea!

Research suggests that filling up midweek is cheaper than any weekend day, so perhaps on Wednesday on your way home from church or the grocery store. (Groceries are cheaper midweek, too!)

Erica,

I had no idea about mid-week being cheaper than the weekend for getting gas. I'll pay attention to that and we might have to switch days. Thanks.

How to fill gas tank of Suburban... find old pantyhose. Put on head. Find kid's BB gun. Head to nearest bank... I'm kidding! Maybe?!

I do this too! I failed to do it this week and had to stop yesterday to fill up, which was annoying. Back to Sundays I go!
