Funny how mothers are always right! Also bringing snacks is now a must anytime my fiance and I are in the car for over a few hours because of how much money we've saved by not stopping to get food. Thanks for all the other great tips.

For some reason this exit off 71 is always super cheap. There is a place midway on 64 between Louisville and Lexington [huge truck plaza] that's always cheap, too. Snacks on the road are a budget kille--I know! The last 3 weeks of house hunting in Ohio I spent a scary amount pacifying two overly-anxious-about-moving teenagers with junk food! <em>Lisa's last blog post..</em><a href='http://hopewellmomschoolreborn.blogspot.com/' rel="nofollow">More school bus problems</a> Gas near the interstate is horrible–except at the Carrolton, KY exit!!

We live near a major truck route in Michigan and there is this one road that has 2 exits and entrances on to it in a span of just a mile. In the middle of all this massive traffic is one little gas station. This station ALWAYS charges .25 to .30 per gallon more and it's PACKED with travelers filling up. Every time I go by I just want to stop everyone and say if you go 2 miles down the road you can save big. Take Care, Triixe Hi Kacie,

That made me smile. I know exactly what you mean. It feels great to see everyone but I usually feel more exhausted than rested after a "vacation" visiting family. - Visiting family is a wonderful thing, but it’s not exactly a vacation.
