Take Full Advantage of Gas / Grocery Savings
Across the country, a large number of grocery stores are rewarding shoppers with gasoline discounts for doing business with them. Two out of the three grocery stores in my immediate area are doing so. Although the cost of gasoline is starting to decline slowly, this is still a good way to save money on gas.
I do have one word of advice though. Make sure your car is low on gas. Over the course of a month, I earned a .40 cents off a gallon of gas discount. Unfortunately, when it came time to redeem my points, both of our cars weren’t truly in need of gas. I ended up taking the car with half a tank full. Yes, I appreciate the savings, but at the same time, I feel like I robbed myself, as I didn’t get to use my bonus savings to its fullest extent.
So, if you are rewarded with a gas discount, be sure to use your wisely. On that same note, I am not recommending that you drive your car to the gas station on empty.
