Unless it's a family owned small business grocer, butcher or farm market. Like my buddy, De Stewart, at Herbs & Spice located in historic Findlay Market.
But.
bigg's has introduced a new customer incentive program called bigg's Pump Perks®.
The incentive program has only been in effect for two weeks. And, this is THE BEST customer incentive program they could have ever devised for ME.
For every $10 you spend, you receive .01 (one cent) off of 20 gallons of gas at Sunoco. And, then there are the incentive items. Purchase certain items and receive an additional .01~.15 cents off PER GALLON of gas.
Last week, the first week of the program, I bought my normal weekly client groceries on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Had to fill up on Thursday morning.
Gas was $1.77/gallon. I paid $1.02/gallon for 20 gallons.
Not bad. In fact, after the last couple of years, paying just $1.02/gallon for gas is down right freaking great.
Today gas was $1.95/gallon. I paid $0.019 ~ yes, less then 2 cents per gallon ~ for 20 gallons.
In other words, I paid a mere 38 cents for 20 gallons of gas today.
Finally, it's more than a job going to the grocery store.
And when you drive something as big as the Yummy~mobile, paying less than 2 cents per gallon of gas is a really really good thing!
The down side of this program? I can't ever travel again. Imagine paying full price for a gallon of gas!
Yes. Spoiled brat is back.
Oh, by the way.
Look for a familiar smiling Chef face in this weekend's bigg's Pump Perks® weekly newspaper ads.
