As Memorial Day approaches, it's probably a good idea to gas up early this week to save money.

Nationwide, gas prices were predicted to be lower this summer compared to the last three years, but that won't translate into savings at the pump this Memorial Day weekend, experts said. "Motorists this year are facing rising gas prices heading into the Memorial Day holiday," said Michael Green, a AAA spokesman, adding that Memorial Day 2013 would probably be the most expensive since 2011. In past years, prices have declined heading into early summer as oil refineries produced more gasoline to meet expected summer driving demand. This year, though, Midwest refineries haven't …

City officials said they might be able to lower fees if the center proves popular during a recent meeting in which a Eureka resident expressed concern that the current rates are unaffordable.
As The Timbers nears completion, city officials are saying they will keep a close on the cost of membership fees and the number of visitors the new Eureka recreation center sees. Currently, a full membership for a family of residents is $550 annually, with other membership’s ranging from as little as $250 for seniors to as much as $750 for non-resident families. The cost is a concern to Eureka resident Carleen Murray and her husband, Ben. The current prices are too much for them to afford and, during a meeting Tuesday, they questioned the Eureka Board of Aldermen on why the fees were so high when taxpayers are subsidizing the facility. Murray pointed to the rates of other municipal facilities in the area, which she said are lower in some …
The city of Wildwood posted a notice about the closure, which it said will start the first week of June and last for three months.
Wildwood drivers will want to take note of a road closing that will begin after the Memorial Day holiday and continue all summer. According to a post on the city's Facebook page, Centaur Road will be shut down at the eastern limit of Wildwood for three months beginning the first week of June to allow for the completion of the road's closure structure. The project is aimed at increasing flood protection for Chesterfield Valley. The new structure will consist of removable flood panels at the road levee crossing, which will be installed prior to high water, and a section of concrete wall that will connect to the existing levee embankment. "Road closed" and "detour" signs will notify drivers to detour via Wild Horse Creek Road. The city …

Who’s NOT planning a BBQ this weekend? If the weather holds and you’ve got propane or charcoal, chances are, you’re grilling something with your friends and family. Here, new ideas for keeping your costs down. Sponsored by Home Depot.
Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbeque experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead -- say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of Barbeque America on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled ribeye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak. Just marinate it or brine for one or two days and then cook long and slow on the barbeque grill to break down tissues but maintain moisture. “You need to include an acid in the marinade, perhaps juice, vinegar or soy sauce, but avoid cola which is so acidic it can turn meat into a soggy mess.” Try …
