📊 Gas Savings Calculator: Is driving further worth it?

Wholesale clubs can vary wildly in price depending on your location. All things home built this calculator to help you figure out if driving further to a cheaper bulk store actually saves you money once you factor in gas and your time. They found Sam's Club was significantly cheaper than BJ's for their staples.

As all things home notes, the frozen strawberries that they get at Sam's Club are maybe $11 while at BJ's the same bag is $19.99. Estimate how much you spend and the average price difference you notice between your local options.

The biggest downside to their preferred store is the extra drive. As all things home points out, there is one about an hour and 10 minutes almost in every direction from them, but they do not have one close.

To figure out if the cheaper store is worth a whole day trip, you have to value your time and calculate how much extra driving you are actually doing each month. Plug in your extra driving details below to see your true net savings.
