I do realize that for you long time frugalites, some or all of this information you have heard before. But not only is this blog for those new to the frugal/simple life, it is for you also.
I view simple/frugal websites regularly as a reminder and motivational tool. And I hope you long-timers do the same with this blog and my other website.

Now onto today's topic: Combining errands to save gas and time.

For Spyros and I, we write a lists of various things that we have to do when we go into town. We have 2 different lists. One for the town that is about 2 minutes away, where we visit the library, pharmacy, bank, some eat-out places, the grocery store, etc....

And the other list is for when we go into Madison. Where we do some basic staple food shopping at Aldi's, toilietries at Shopko, etc...

We use to just try to remember what we had to do, but often we would get home and realize we had forgotten to do something.
So now we have an ongoing list of not only what we run out of around the house, but where we need to go to pick these items up.
