Cheap Gas, yes it is possible!

I posted the other day about customer loyalty and today I experienced another big payoff!!  

I talked about discounts in my other post and briefly mentioned buying gift cards to earn gas rewards.  In the past month I have earned over 19 /10 cents off a gallon rewards.  How have I done it?  Have I spent $1900 at the grocery store?  Nope, not at all!

I've been researching discounts with my local grocery store (a Safeway company), and I noticed that they double and/or triple your gas rewards if you purchase gift cards there.  My husband and I decided we would try and buy gift cards for stores that we go to regularly.  We purchased $100 in PetSmart gift cards (we have three cats, that is one visit), and $150 in groceries (total before coupons for two weeks).  This equaled 90 cents off of a gallon.  The gift cards we purchased were the featured one that week so we earned more than normal.  This brought our gas to: $1.31/gallon, it was so exciting and weird to fill my tank for less than $20!!  This was all money that we had already budgeted for food and pet supplies, so the discounts were just free money!

Today we went grocery shopping again and purchased $50 on a Pet Smart gift card and $150 in groceries, we earned 50 cents off of a gallon.  So our gas today was $1.25/gallon (we had some unused discounts from other smaller trips)!!  I was so amazed that I decided that I really wanted to let everyone know about this.  If you don't have a Safeway store near you, check out your grocery store and see what rewards they offer.  I am sure that most stores do this and it is absolutely wonderful getting extra discounts for something you would have purchased anyways.
