Saving Money

[Johnny Drama 5,000+ posts]

So I got the wild idea to see exactly how much I spend on gas and food during the week. After 3 weeks this is what I have found.

My job is 28 miles each way

5 days a week

gas is ~$2.86 a gallon

truck gets ~13mpg average around town.

So...

28*2=56 miles a day

56*5=280 miles a week

280/13=21.53gallons of gas

21.53*2.86=$61.60 a week in savings

61.60*52= $3203.20 savings per year

Now I will be driving every other week in the car pool so I will actually be saving $123.20 a month.

Total savings. $1601.60

Lunch...

I spend ~$20 a day on breakfast and lunch. Sometimes just lunch.

I will be bringing my lunch 4 days out of the week.

After shoping for lunches for 3 weeks now my average cost for a weeks groceries at Kroger is $6.79

So...

20*4=$80 a week.

$80-6.79=$73.21 a week.

$73.21*52=$3806.92 savings a year

These numbers do not reflect vacation, sick, or holidays.

Grand total per year...

$1601.60+$3806.92=$5408.52 savings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

If you pay attention, there will be many times that you want to ask him, and squeak, this question. Im wondering if before they answer any question do they go and search google, yahoo and search.com, or if their heads are just being used more than the average person.
