It amazes me when I am paying for gas and several people in front of me have $20 of junk food each. I try to watch all my pennies and eat healthy. So this is just against what I think and makes me wonder about how they spend the rest of their money.

Thrift shops are my downfall, but not as much as they used to be. Nowdays as I am trying to purge some things I really think twice. I do still buy some books there and flower pots if I need them but little else. I see people all the time at the gas station buying snacks.

This is so true – the prices for these items are outrageous. When we travel, we typically pack snacks and drinks so we aren’t tempted.

Oh yes, we definitely do not do gas station snacks. It may be convenient but it definitely isn’t cheap. $2.00 for a small bag of cheez-its? I can almost buy a whole box for that.

I totally agree with this. I always pack snacks. another big pit fall for us is going to the amusement parks near us. Luckily disney allows outside food and drink.

We really enforce this. We have a cooler, sometimes 2 in the car for long trips. If you didn’t put your favorite drink in there then tough luck!

gas station food is outrageious! When we travel, we bring our own water, soda, and snacks so we don’t waste money at gas stations!

Soda/water prices are so expensive at a gas station. The only time we really get anything at a gas station is when we are traveling. Very very rare will we buy something when we are out and about our own town.

This is such a great post, I have thought about this often as well! I have never been one to buy anything other than fuel at a gas station, but I have on occasion (road trips) and it’s ridiculous how much more money you can spend. I buy a case of sports drinks for the price of 2 small bottles of it at a gas station! It is definitely not worth it to me.
