Advantages to My Long Commute

May 10th, 2012 at 03:03 am

Not sure why this has taken me so long to figure out...

Last night I was on a coupon website that listed all the stores they follow. There are only two different grocery chains in our town, though I can get to a third in less than eight miles.

But I realized that along my commute, there are several grocery and drug stores that we don't have locally. I can stop on my way home very easily! I will start planning around those stores, too.

Today I went to a Winco, where I got 2 pounds of mozzarella, two bottles of Tabasco, 2 avocados and a bag of broccoli for $7.23.

I also went to Walgreens and got a few things.

Homemade Pad Thai for dinner... delicious recipe!

    Yay! My whole frugal life has been based on finally noticing stuff like that. Good luck, and if they are chain stores, they probably also have flyers, which means you can plan around that also.

    How long is your commute? I'm debating whether to take a new job or not because of the commute. It's 27 miles each way.

    Mine is about 75 miles. It's crazy, but worth it. I don't drive every day, either. 3-5 days a week.
