Sounds like you may have a weak battery or bad connections. Take a volt meter and see what the battery reads after you've gone someplace and just shut the car off. It should read pretty close to 12 volts. If reading like 11.5 or below, I'd say replace the battery. If you can start the car back up again, put the volt meter on the hot side of the alternator and see if you're getting 14 volts. If not putting out 14 or close to it, replace alternator.
