With gas prices peaking ove $4/gallon in some places in the US …

And much higher in many other countries, which has been the case for a long time, e.g. in Sierra Leone the current average gas price is $18.43, Wow! Huh?

I believe people are finally starting to take notice … to the *pain* in their pocketbook, huh? …

Are you feeling this “*pain* / pinch” in your pocketbook yet?

And more and more people are starting to look for ways to Save Money by Saving Gas! Right?

Well, in my humble opinion (IMHO), you may Save a Lot of Gas and Money by Shopping Online! …

Instead of, just for one, driving back and forth to the grocery store(s), drug store(s), department store(s), shopping mall(s), etc. etc. Right?!

Just think of …

How many times per week do you drive to one of these types of stores to buy something that you probably could have ordered online and had shipped directly to your doorstep? …

How much Money, and precious Gas, you could be saving each week by buying just some of these things online?

Let’s do some quick calculations of How Much Money / Gas You could Save Per Week (month, and/or year), by buying some of the things you routinely buy online instead, ok? …

Pick some items that you generally buy each week (or each month, etc.) that you could buy online instead.

For each of the stores that you would have to drive to in order to pick up these items …

Sum up the number of miles you would have to drive there and then back again for each of these trips …

Divide this number of miles by the average miles per gallon you get from the vehicle you would actually drive on these shopping trips …

That gives you the total number of gallons of gas that you would save each week (month or year) by buying these items online instead, right?

Now, how much Extra Cash would that leave in Your Pocket, instead of in the Gas Station’s each week (month or year)? …

Well, just multiple this number of gallons of gas times, let’s say, $4.00 per gallon, so …

GAS PRICES GETTING YOU DOWN? SHOP ONLINE FOR YOUR KIDS CLOTHES AND SAVE!

Summer is upon us and that means the children are out of school. Your kids could use a few more pairs of shorts or cool tanks, but there’s one slight catch. To get to the shopping center, you’ll have to drive. With gas prices so high and no end in sight of relief at the pump, going to the mall isn’t the best option. But what if you could get the same girls clothing or boys clothes for less money and receive free shipping at the same time?

Online shopping is a great alternative to shopping in traditional stores. Why? Because you can do it any time of day or night and don’t have to worry about the hassles of traffic and having your gas tank depleted. Below are a few examples of the benefits of shopping online.

Point, click and ship! When you’re searching for that perfect pair of blue jeans for your son, sometimes it’s hard for him to remain still when you’re at the store. He might become distracted and fidgety and you end your search before you find what you’re looking for. With online shopping, all you have to do is search for the type of clothing you need, find the size and purchase it. Usually within a few days, your package is delivered right to your front door. Your son is happy he didn’t have to trudge to the mall and you’re thrilled because you didn’t even have to leave your house!

Selection, selection, selection. A lot of times when you’re at the store, you see something perfect for your child, but then get disappointed when their size is sold out. You ask the salesperson if they have any more in the back or if they’re going to get any more in, but they can’t tell you for certain. Online stores have a much larger inventory of products. You’ll never be disappointed when you see the exact capris for your daughter you’ve been searching for and know for certain if her size is available.

Shop more, save more! There are a lot of online retailers that offer incentives to purchase from their stores. Many offer huge discounts on name brands, such as First Impressions. When you add free shipping to the mix, it affords you to purchase an additional dress for your little girl or that Disney shirt your son can’t live without. You won’t feel guilty using any gas to drive to the store because you’ll remain comfortably in your own home. Money back guarantees are almost always available to give you additional security for purchasing items online.

Take a look online and see what possibilities are out there. You’ll be amazed how fun it can be to shop from home, in your pajamas if you’d like, and save money at the same time. Happy shopping!
