Fuel Score!
It's nice in today's economic environment where we will drive 5 miles to save 4 cents/gallon for fuel to occasionally land a great deal. Yesterday I fuelled up at the local Get-Go.
30 gallons
$0.199/gal
$5.97 total
The receipt is in my album, but it isn't very clear. The Get-Go promotion has proven to be very profitable for me.
Anyone else know about good deals or promotions in your area?

It's a promotion that a local grocery chain runs. It's $.10/gal off for every $50 spent in the store. They sell gift cards for restaurants, home improvement stores, airlines, etc. which add to the total. Every time I fly, remodel or eat out I earn discounts. I love it! I seldom pay full price for fuel. This trip I cashed in on flying my daughter home from Seattle.
BTW I am in western PA. The store is Giant Eagle.

And they must be making money on it somehow, because they keep expanding on the promotion. It's been in place for a couple years. Now you get discounts on groceries when you buy fuel too. I think this is a brilliant promotion. I'm surprised other companies haven't started doing this.

In Oregon, the Safeway grocery chain occasionally offers a 10 cent per gallon discount for ever $75 in purchases. You can't combine them, though, so it's just .10 per gallon off of one fill up, at Safeway gas stations and the fill is limited to $75.
Oh, and only grocery store out here in the middle of nowhere is a Safeway, so I tend to rack up a lot of the discounts. BUT ... The nearest Safeway with a gas station is 200 miles away.

During the peak of the pandemic 2020.... at that point just in Texas alone 85 oil drilling contractors (that the majors sub-contracted to for site ops) went bankrupt... closed their doors and walked away. Are there industry issues- yes..... did we fail to ensure the protection of the "oil supply chain"- yes, are we still (industry specific) in recovery mode...you bet!
