My food store here has specials and if you buy a certain amount of products they give you gas points. Last week they offered protein bars that retail for $2.49 each and were on sale for $2.00 each. If you bought 5 bars you got 200 gas points and you get 10 cents off a gallon for every 100 points. I send protein bars to OpFth so I bought 25 bars ( 5 sets of 5 was the max you could buy) for a total of $50.00 and earned 1000 points or $1.00 off a gallon. You are limited to 25 gallons per fill up and you can only use 1 car. Therefore I bought something I use and got $25.00 in gas (25 gallons X $1.00).
Now my car only holds 14 gallons so I bring two 5 gallon gas cans and a 2 gallon can to max out the 25 allowed. During the summer this works out well but during the winter when there is no golf, I have a friend fill their car and I keep the cans. The points usually always work out to me saving .50 cents for every $1.00 I spend on products.
Another example, the store offered canned spaghetti for $1.00 a can and if you bought 20 cans you got 500 gas points or $.50 a gallon and at 25 gallons I saved $12.50. So I spent $20.00 and saved $12.50. I donated the food to a 1/2 way house I am involved with so a win win all around.

Even better? Retire. Or work from home and not burn gas driving back and forth to work.
I don't think that will continue when prices go up, besides, I like real food, not bars or cans dropping out from the end of a production line.

I'd rather have a dollar off $2 gas than a dollar off $3 gas.
