What's Your Gas Price Threshold?
So…I’m curious…have you decided what your gas price threshold is yet?
I have and we’ve reached it. I have formally challenged myself to leave my van and car parked as much as possible during the week and walk and bike.
For about six weeks now, here’s what I’ve been doing. I do our weekly shopping on Sundays. This involves driving about 30 miles into the nearest pretty big city to get to the stores I need. Once this shopping is done, though I park my vehicles.
Any errands I need to do during the week are done on foot or bike. This includes banking, shopping, library, and even the kids ballgames (if they are in town). I have seen a lot of good come out of this, btw. My waistline is improving and my gas budget is getting by.
Have you made any changes yet? If so, what are they? If not, do you have a particular point in mind that you think you might implement changes? I’d love to hear!
