Default I just paid $1.49 a gallon

I just got back from the gas station where I paid $36.50 for 24.31 gallons of gas.

I don't know if you guys have a Kroger grocery store around you, but they have this program for every dollar you spend, you get a point. For every 100 points you get $0.10 off a gallon. The promotion runs from the first day of a month til the last day. If you buy gift cards, you get 2x's the points. Well this month they had 4x's the points on gift cards. So we bought gift cards to the stores we were going to shop at, as well as groceries. So we had over 2,000 points which got me $2.00 off EVERY gallon of gas.

So the $3.499 gallon of gas became $1.499 a gallon for me.

Should have bought your Kroger gas in GA...pump price for 87 unleaded is $3.14
Would have saved another $8.40 !!

We shop at Krogers but there is only one Kroger by us and they don't have fuel pumps. You can also use the points to get 10 cents off a gallon at Shell stations. Only Shell station around is at the other end of town and they're 10 cents a gallon more than most stations.

We did get 20 cents off the other day. We were near the Kroger in Milford and they sell gas.

Did you ever ask them where the closest Kroger station was ? Or is it the one in Milford. Until a few months ago, the closest Kroger station was about 13 miles from my house. They built the one in Ferndale over the summer and it is nice, especially since I travel I-75 a lot.

I got gas last night in Ferndale (9mile & I-75) .But I have gotten it in Dearborn, Oxford, Milford, and East Pointe too.

I usually do the same thing at BJ's and so does my wife at the stop and shop stations for the discounts.

Gas prices around here are at best $3.23, with maybe a 10 cent discount at Cosco.

The Costco's around me don't seem to have that big of a discount from the regular stations.

Do you guys have to pay more for gas if you use a credit card. Around here, if you use a credit card you will pay between 6 and 10 cents more per gallon.
