NO, we live on a fixed income and with the increase in food cost, higher property taxes, NO COLA raise for SS or Ret. Military this year. We are Both. Increased Co-pays for meds, increase in Medicare, leaves a whole lot less spending money. Have had to cut back on what I spend on food, and very little ‘free’ money for spending. No way to put money back either. Splurging is a BD or Anniversary dinner out. Buy gift cards at double the gas points from Kroger’s or wait until they put them on 4 x the points to buy, use Discover to pay, 1% back. Pay Discover in full each month..no fees. Hubby filled up the car for 68 cents a gallon, 22 gallons end of Dec. And will do the same in Jan. Up to 35 gallons a fill up.

“Buy gift cards at double the gas points from Kroger’s -——”


What does that mean?
