I hate filling up my tank at the nearest gas station and then driving a mile down the road and seeing a station where the gas was 20 cents cheaper per gallon. Imagine what that does to the Bargain Queen!
If this is true for you, then copy this link and put it on your desktop:

This is the very, very best link I have found to find the current prices for gas stations in your area. This means if you are driving down the road in Walla Walla, Washington, you can find the best price. (Which, by the way, is currently found at the 76 Station on 9th Avenue in Walla Walla.)
Thanks Bargain Babe for pointing me to this great link that I could share with my bargain buddies.

Compare Gas, Cell Phone and Credit Card Prices
OK, this is awesome. Billshrink.com (Thanks JC and Susan.)
This site helps you to make your way through the complexities of the fine print of cell phone plans, gas prices and credit card deals.
I was most interested in finding the best gas prices. I put in my home address (I didn't give the exact address) and my work address (again, I wasn't specific) and type of car I drive and in seconds I got a list of the gas stations with the best prices. Turns out that if I would go a couple of blocks out of my way, I could save about 25 cents on a gallon of gas! THAT'S a bargain.
Plus, the read out tells you if it is one of those funky gas stations that doesn't take credit cards. I hate those. They post the lowest price and then charge you extra to take your debit card. Not OK!
This site was started when the founder's wife tried to compare cell phone programs. I KNOW how impossible that is. It is just (intentionally) TOO confusing to figure out.
My only concern about this site is that it asks for information that I don't normally give out - so I used made up stuff. You can decide how you want to handle it.
I think it is a useful tool. Let me know what you think.

Find Cheap Gas
All right, I don't know about you, but my budget is starting to get impacted by the price of gasoline. My normal, "don't worry, I'll just buy it secondhand," doesn't seem to work for gasoline. It's kind of hard to find "used gas" or "gently used gas."
However, with the help of a nifty little website called, GasBuddy.com, you can find the cheapest gas available in your area. This site will, at least, keep you from experiencing buyer's remorse when you pass a station (a quarter of a mile down the road) that is selling gas at 10 cents less than you just paid.
Gas Buddy is really pretty neat. You can put in your zip code and find your local area. There are maps to help you find the stations nearest you. I was surprised to see the big difference in prices in my area. I will certainly be using this site.
