Save On Gas

Stretch That DOLLAR Comments Off

Mar 232012

I found a article that shows Imports of oil have peaked in 2005 with the trend of imports to keep falling over the next decade.

With production increases and cars getting greater Miles Per Gallon…This can a be a long term positive trend for the American consumer.

The importance of a strong energy policy in this election cycle is so very important..Without a strong domestic energy policy this country can fall into a lot of trouble.

It seems that the current leaders in charge can’t get their act together..May I suggest we the people take a good hard look at this issue before we vote this fall. Not just the price of gasoline is at risk but all energy which runs this country is on the line.

On top and most of all we should conserve our use of energy for a few reasons.Makes it more affordable if everyone uses less..

Other reasons to save on gasoline is not only buy driving less they actual cost of fuel but also mantinance such as brakes and tires(made from oil).

Not that I’m the “Greenest Person In the World” but it dosen’t hurt to help the environment at the same time…

One of the hardest things about being Frugal is understanding the definition of Value.

It is actually a battle from wanting to be totally “cheap” too just spending way to much for what you need.

These decisions range from a paper towel purchase to the buying of a house or car and everything in between.

If You are truly Frugal the tendency might to buy the item with the lowest cost period..Many a times this way of thinking cost much more over a longer period of time.

Depending on what the purchase is many factors can be in play..The answer to the purchase should be the over-all VALUE.

What is Value?Might be how long something is going to last or can the same thing be accomplished for less money.Sometimes it is about saving time?Do I need or do I want the item or service? More can be less and sometimes less can be more..I find this little ditty to true a lot of the time..Also consideration for the “hidden” cost and/or matinence cost involved.

Lets take a automobile for example…People can be very passionate about what they drive. How important is it to drive a car you can’t afford to impress people that don’t really care? But not one car can or will fit all people…One item that gets over looked is the cost to insure a certain type of car.Example I bought a Toyota new in 2004 and the rate to insure it was about double to what I was paying.

It is a great auto and one of the best overall values I think We ever found.$17,000 for probably one of our best overValues..Great on gas ,relibility, long lasting and still looks fairly new.Plus held it’s Book Value on top of that….

Value is found in the grocery store..One of my Twitter Friends got a job for a large food proccessing company..She said that the alot of the store names are made in the same factory as the name brand…The only difference is that you pay less .Use coupons online or from your mail or news paper when you can this gives the same product for less..

Sometimes it is temping to buy a item that appears to JUNK when it is 10 cents on the dollar…The temptation can be way to hard to handle…But I often find myself disappointed when the purchase fails…Sometimes luck is on my side..But the price for wanting to be “Cheap” instead of Frugal can Be very Painful my friends..
