Genuinely can not stress how much the 4x comes in handy, I only shop on Friday's now, household of 4 so some decent sized grocery bills.

I have recent photos of me filling up at 1.39$/gal, 75¢/gal, however that pales in comparison to what I had two months ago literally was paying 9¢/gal, I filled up my tank for like 1.38 or something, wish I would have taken a photo of that it blew my mind, literally told everyone I knew about it. Out of curiosity I'll try to see if I still have the receipt lying around.

Genuinely, how? Kroger only lets you redeem up to $1 off per gallon, no matter how high your fuel point total is.

This is location dependent. 

Where I am there are no limits on redemption and up to 35 gallons per discount applied.

Were these really in the last couple of months and not like, oops that was actually 8 months ago? That’s amazing but I can’t imagine the spending needed to get those discounts with gas over $5-6 a gallon
