Doughnuts

If you go to the grocery store in the evening when the bakery is closing, you can buy doughnuts really cheap!

Call around and visit lots of places. The prices vary alot and more expensive is not always better for your child.

Driving

1. Know all the stops you need to make and plan your route accordingly
You will do less backtracking and save gas.

2. Instead of taking a short little trip each day. Plan to run all your errands on the same day. You will again save on gas.
