Yes, I had the maximum $1 per gallon discount because I bought a bunch of gift cards and groceries from Kroger's for Christmas.

I'm highlighting this, because it's important for other readers to see it.

We do the same thing every year: wait until Kroger's has the 4X fuel points promotions for gift cards, and then load up on gifts for friends and family. This year, we had a 70 cent discount, but my new car has a smaller tank and I couldn't pump as much.

I wish I still had the few 5-gallon gas cans I had before we moved (and I gave them away). I could have stored another tankful of gas, and used them instead of filling up at the pump.

actually, I forgot, I only had .90 cents off. I thought I had the whole dollar. I think I missed it by a couple of bucks. I have the flu. My brain isn't working right.

Even with the discount however, I can't imagine that Kroger's would allow themselves to lose money. They have to be breaking even at least. That ought to give us an idea of what the real gas price is right now.

Earlier this year, I even bought gift cards for personal use when Fry’s (Kroger) had 4x fuel points. At one point I had 1600 fuel points. I bought a Bath & Body Works GC because their semiannual sale was coming up, so I saved money there as well as at the pump. Sweet!
