22 Ways to Get a Great Deal on Anything

Find the Best Gas Prices in Your Area

GasBuddy is a free app that allows you to check gas prices at local stations. You input your zip code and scroll through prices that have been input by other drivers (you'll know how recent they are by the time stamp of the posts). It's important to note that like other crowdsourcing applications, GasBuddy also depends on the kindness—and honesty—of strangers. (Although there are more reliable ways, including FuelPriceFinder.com, to check fuel prices before you hop in the car, GasBuddy is currently the best way to look them up when you're already on the road.)
