Forgive me if this is a repeat topic. With the incredibly high price of gasoline, are there any promos in your area? Pic and Save grocery stores in Wi. are offering a dime off each gallon for each $50.00 spent on groceries. I'm sure everyone is aware of Chryslers $2.99 a gal. promo. Any others?

Safeway does the same for $50 purchase. Plus get the Discover Gas Card for an extra 5% off.

Interesting.

I wonder what the conversion is for diesel?

It would also be nice to get a discount for buying in bulk. I could see Costco doing something like this. I would also like to see Costco put in diesel stations.

I think Meijer offers a small discount at their gas station if you buy enough groceries at their store, but I have never bothered with it.

My local grocery store does the 10cents for every $50 spent. They allow 30 gallons. They also occasionally put coupons in their weekly ad for $1 off per gallon for a new or transferred prescription, I transferred 2, one cost $4 and the other $7 and for that I got $60 worth of gas.

Gas card offering 10% off for the first 90 days. I have about 30 more days to go. $4.00 gas is really $3.60.

Local women won free gas for 3 years in a contest

She can get upto 15 gallons of gas per week for 3 years

15 gal x 52 weeks x 3 years x $4 = $9,360. Not too bad!

15 gallons per week would be a nice offset for me, but anything would be nice. Currently I am burning through about 25 just getting to work and back. A round trip to the lake is another 25 gallons if I have the boat in tow.

Sadly none of the chains mentioned above exist in my area. The concept of a grocery store selling gasoline hasn't caught on in St. Louis yet. One station offers 10 cents off with a $7 touchless (worthless) car wash, but that is it.

I can get E85 for $2.99, but the 20 - 25% cost savings is eaten up by the 20% decrease in MPG and I prefer the 20% extra range in the tank when full.

Harmon's also does something with cents off depending on the $ amount of your purchase.
I thought Smith's did the same thing?? I don't shop much a t Smith's so I wouldn't know. And the Harmon's that does have a gas station at it is down in SLC so that doesn't do me much good.
Albertson's does give us 3 cents off each gallon if you use your preferred card. Last summer they had a few weekends when they had gas at 10 cents to 20 cents off per gallon (depending on the sale). Haven't seen that this year at all. frown
