Saved ten cents per gallon of gas and ATM fees ...

Hi all, just a quick post. I want to tell you how I saved 10 cents per gallon of gas when I filled up and at the same time I was able to withdraw cash without paying ATM fees.

First, my local grocery store has recently opened up a gas station in their parking lot. Right now they are offering ten cents off per gallon of gas with their shopping card if I purchase $50 or more of groceries. I was out and about, I needed some gas and I also needed some cash. I did not want to pay ATM fees for using another banks ATM. I really don't like the idea of paying to get my own money.

So I had a light bulb moment. I went into the grocery store and killed three birds with one stone... I bought one item that I needed that was on sale, I used my debit card and I got the cash back that I need free. (No ATM fees) and I got $50 cash back so my bill came up to more than $50. Guess what, I got 10 cents per gallon at their gas station which is already about 3 cents cheaper than any of the other gas station.

I love it when a plan comes together....

Tell me what you think... more ideas to come....


Yours truly,
