With gas prices on the rise and constantly fluctuating, one of the best ways a single mother can save money is to use public transportation. Take a bus or a cab, depending on the distance your travelling. Also when you are looking to purchase a car, check the gas mileage the car gets per gallon, as a car with better gas mileage will keep you from spending too much on gas.
It’s recommended that you try and leave your car at home a couple of days a week in order to conserve on gas
