Kroger Gas Station Gas Can People - I'm One of Them Now

[bacon#1]

We utilize my truck for this deal. It has a 37 gallon tank. And I "ain't skeered" to run it down to nothing before fueling. Even when it says 1 mile to empty, it's lying. You still have a couple of gallons to go.

Just a curious question? Why do people think they need to use all their points at once? I use to shop Kroger exclusively but now realize, Meijer has better deals and when Kroger started expanding,their prices went up. I did buy gas Friday evening @ $1.55 and thought it a good price for even though I only needed 6 gallons.

Why wouldn't you use all your points at once? It's easily the biggest money-saver. Oh, and there is no meijer down south; the only grocery stores local to me are 2 different chains owned by Kroger & Aldi's. Aldi's blows for most things so it's kroger chains or nothing.

Well played, sir. However, you have now confirmed that you are young since you've never purchased gas for less than $0.97!

Actually, you've confirmed yourself as an old person!!

Haha, on a serious note, does it count if I remember gas in the $0.80's? When I started driving gas was just a bit over $1 so I'm not as young as you may think.

Because (to me anyway) a dollar off a gallon for 20 gallons is really no big deal when gas is less than $2. I'd use 20/30 cents off a few times a month but then again,I've pretty much quit shopping Kroger to get better prices at Meijer. It's kinda like eating sunflower seeds or crab legs, the payoff isn't worth the investment. If you only have Kroger I guess it makes some sense and I agree about Aldi,flavorless food.

Whippersnapper! I think I got my BSME before you were born, or close to it! (1987)

I always take two cars to get the 35 gal max. Only makes sense to me. Get a little of my money back. Or at least that's what I tell myself. Lol.

When I make a special trip to drag in a bunch of cans to fill, I often ponder this.

Or are we really just rising to the bait?

I find it funny I had never seen/noticed before reading this thread and then in the last week I saw a family with 2 medium SUVs bumper to bumper at the pump plus a 2 gallon can and then yesterday a guy with a CRV and four 5 gallon cans.

Why the extra trip?

I'm buying gas when I need it anyway . . .

Taking the money off in small amounts isn't as beneficial as taking it in one large (all the points at once) transaction for the full 35 gallon limit. You may not see the benefit, I do. 35 gallons times $1 off is $35 savings. Yes, I paid for it (nothing is free) but then again, I do have to eat if I want to live...

Not before I was born, but close... you're only further proving my point!!

Only 4 cans? Amateur

Haha, when I decided to bear the long lines on the 30th I decided to do it up right, 4 nato cans and 6 modern plastic cans plus the 20+ gallon tank on my truck. I know the people behind me were probably frustrated...
