My New Thread

I've never participated in gas station or grocery store loyalty programs before. I've always wanted the flexibility of shopping wherever it made sense at the time.

Recently I've decided to do most of my grocery shopping at my small, local grocery store. Last Saturday, I noticed a sign as I was walking into the store that said that if I wanted to take advantage of store bargains, I'd need a loyalty card, so I applied for one.

This morning I needed a few staples before work. I bought $34.66 of stuff. I used my loyalty card, and at the bottom of the receipt, it says that I had $1.60 in savings. I also talked to the cashier, and she said that when I accumulate 500 points, I can save $10 on meat purchases.

Thats not a bad move. Does the place take coupons? You might be able to find some on stuff you usually buy.

I don’t know if that store takes coupons.

Well, if you go there a lot, it wouldn't hurt to sign up for their rewards program.

That's a huge step along with trading a better fuel efficient car.
