Saving money
« on: July 22, 2011, 10:59:21 pm »
How many of us drive when we could easily walk?

I use to drive to the store all the time now I walk. I live about 5 blocks from the store 8 blocks to the bank and I find that I really like walking. I have to take my cane sometimes and limp by the time I get home, but the exercise is great.

I live almost  next to a shopping center it's about a five minute walk to get there.  I sometimes drive there and sometimes I walk.  If I drive it's because now it is too hot to be walking around in the hot sun or it's raining.  If it's a nice day I will walk.

I drive pretty much everywhere. No stores within a mile of me. I probably would walk if things were closer, I certainly don't mind getting the exercise.

To save money my boyfriend and I take the bus to walmart then a cab home ( no car or license ) and we use coupons as often as possible. With his discount and everything we've saved between 20-30 dollars.

No stores/banks/businesses within 5 miles of my home, so no walking here. I tend to shop on my way home from work to save trips.
