With so many tasks and items on our never-ending to-do list, getting time back in your day by optimizing your errand runs is time you can use for something that you love to do!
Buy items you know you frequently need in large amounts. Make sure you have all staples readily available to prepare food in your home quickly and easily without ordering in or getting take-out.
You can use your GPS to map out the quickest or most efficient fuel-saving routes if you are driving. Often these are the same. Planning your route efficiently will save you money on gas.
Choose the Store or Location with The Maximum Savings and Efficiency
Get as much done in one spot as possible, even if it costs you more. Choose the store with the lowest price on the items you buy the most and go there to make your big shopping trips.
Schedule your day so you are purchasing perishable items and heavy items last so you can go home straight after purchasing instead of having to head out again.
If you take public transport, you can send emails, make lists, make calls, send texts, and otherwise do administrative tasks. You can even order items online and save yourself time.
