Plan Shopping Trips To Save Gas

To save gas, peruse all the food circulars you get each week. I usually hit 3 stores, going to the furthest one first and working my way back home, stopping at the drugstore, garden store, etc. in the same trip.

Another tip: Start your own coupon swap; each person buys a different Sunday paper and we trade off unwanted coupons.
