Despite the gas prices, our family still made the journey to Gulf Shores, Ala., for spring break. We cut back in other areas along the way.
Linda Estes ( in Shawnee) says...
Yes! I organize errands to avoid unnecessary trips; drive others or ride with them; and lunch with my sister from Blue Springs, meeting halfway every other month.
Tim Dykes ( in Shawnee) says...
Since I became a self-employed fundraising consultant nearly two years ago, having my office in my home has allowed me to cut my fuel consumption considerably.
Linda Haley ( in Shawnee) says...
Unfortunately daily kids’ events necessitate driving as much as ever and carpooling is not always feasible. We fill up the three family cars once weekly.
Margery Beardslee ( in Shawnee) says...
I have tried to watch where I go and use “bundling” when I have a few stops to make. Bundling is using my outings in a sensible way so I can stop at several places in one trip or, if I have a doctor’s appointment I usually try to pick up any prescriptions or stop at the supermarket before or after the appointment.
Brandon Kenig ( in Shawnee) says...
Yes — I plan out my routes to cover multiple errands in one trip and carpool with others whenever possible if I’m traveling over 10 miles.
Susan Nichols ( in Shawnee) says...
I do try to consolidate my errand running a bit more, and definitely look to see who has the better price. Complaining about it makes me feel better, anyway!
