You may recall back in October of 2011 when we sold my beloved KIA Spectra and became a one car family. Since then, things have REALLY changed around here. When we sold the car, Alex was working 3rd shift and we were expecting baby #4 which also meant our family would no longer fit, as a whole, in the car. During that time, gas prices were also outrageous and it just made more sense, financially, to only have one car.
While, since then, Alex has moved to 2nd shift, we welcomed baby #5 AND we now have a 2nd car once again (and it only cost us $1.00 plus license, title and registration).
Now that we are rocking two cars once again, I try to do whatever I can to save when it comes to vehicle maintenance, which can get very expensive. This year, we’ve already put new tires on the van in addition to new wipers, an alignment and of course an oil change too.
Since we are approaching fall and soon winter will arrive along with the holidays, I am pinching every penny I can and trying to stick to a strict budget. This is when I search the internet for the best deals and I have discovered that there are great savings on car maintenance as well at many places, including Lynch Chevy of WI. With great service specials, we will be able to prepare our vehicles for winter at a price that we can afford!
It is because of my penny pinching and budgeting during this time of year that we are able to have a great holiday season and spoil the kids with gifts!
