I just posted a blog challenging Active Rain Members to help out in their local neighborhoods.  From there, I cruised over to Adam Waldman's Blog that offers great ways to save on gasoline.  Adam's blog inspired me to add to the concept of Neighborhood Care Teams with a way to save on the expense of gas as well.   

When I go to the grocery store, I like to stock up.  I plan ahead for meals and try my best to make sure I have every ingredient I need.  No matter how long my list is, I always forget that one item.

You know what I am talking about.  It's that one item, small as it may seem that can make or break that favorite dish.  It's the recipe that calls for 3 eggs and you only have 2 or that cup of milk that your husband just drank straight from the jug. 

WORSE....you forgot you ran out of coffee...or toothpaste...or bread...or just a favorite snack.

Why not call your neighbor before you head out to the store and ask them if they need you to grab a quick item for them since you'll be out and about anyway?  My guess is that a lot of gas could be saved by just being a good neighbor and I bet they'll return the favor. 

Call it the Express Lane, 3 items or less!
