Saving Money On Gas

**hjm331** · July 10th, 2008, 10:05 AM

I have never really noticed extra charges for using a card. Is it listed somewhere perhaps on the receipt?

Nope, the price sign is where I always see it.

So there's prices if you use a credit card and prices if you use cash? I have never thought of that.

Wow fees for everything

. I need a vacation too but I don't see that happening right now

KMoney, where do you want to go on your upcoming vacation? I want to go Ensenada and Las Vegas.

Ohhh yes buddie. I guess knowing that they got their ends up front makes it easier for them.

HJM331, having two prices on the pump isn't new. Its been around for a long time but now with gas up to almost $4.00 a gallon people are starting to notice the cash and credit prices. There is one place though, that you can save money using credit and that is Walmart. Using your walmart card will save you 3 cents a gallon and without it, their gas is still a couple of cents cheaper. So I would advise people to get a walmart card or a gift card (still works the same) and buy their gas at walmart. And no I don't work at walmart

I don't have any Wal-mart stores nearby so I guess I'm stuck with these high gas prices. Some Costco stores also have gas station but I don't know how their prices are right now.

Well tell me this, when we shop at Safeway, the little coupons on the bottom of the receipt says 0.10/gallon off at selected gas stations but it does not show which gas station it is. Right about now that 10 cents looks good.

I haven't seen any Safeway stores here in SoCal, we only have Vons stores over here.

We don't either. Safeway bailed out of Arkansas in 1988 and I wished they hadn't. Safeway was my favorite grocery store. Now I shop Walmart because I hate Kroger and the little supermarkets around here because of their prices. If Safeway comes back I will go back to buying from them. I hope they will. BTW, I think Vons is a division of Safeway.

Rob, you're right. That is why I mentioned that we have Vons stores over here, not Safeway.

Hey Meya, when you shop at Safeway do you go to one that has a gas station with it? If you do, I would think the coupon is good for that one station. Then again the coupon maybe good for any Safeway with a gas station. I would call the store manager and ask to be sure.

The one that has the gas station is in Vallejo, CA and that is like 30 miles from my house. I think I am going to ask a manager becasue Chevron, Arco, Shell, Union 76, Alliance, and Olympia is the only gas stations I have seen in San Francisco. All the rest are just hole in the walls.

Good Lord bro, you are not too far from me and there is no Safeway around? I thought they were like nationwide popular. But after listening to Rob, I do remember Kroger when I was in Texas and also Brookshire Bros and Windixie. I do the Walmart thing sometimes but that is if I am in Oakland at my moms house. I get a better deal at Grocery Outlet but their foods are sometimes expired. Yukk!
