Local Expert: Save $$$ On Gas In Tucson (Its All In The Groceries)!

Gas prices keep rising, and we in Tucson are lucky enough to have the best prices in the state, if not the country.  Regardless, why pay more than you need to?

 

There are 2 grocery chains in Tucson that sell gas also--and part of their customer loyalty rewards are discounts on gasoline purchases.  At Fry's grocery stores, you not only save on your store items when scanning your customer loyalty card, but when you purchase $100 or more within a month, you get 10 cents per gallon off of your gasoline at their pumps!  Albertsons doesn't use a customer card anymore, but they offer a similar incentive:  spend $50 in one visit, get 25 cents a gallon discount when you fill up at the store; spend $100 and save a whopping 50 cents per gallon!  Trick is:  there's only 1 Albertsons with a gas station--at the corner of Grant & Tanque Verde.

I remember when gas was $3.23/gallon... just last week.  Kidding!  But it's up to $4 now, and that's not funny.

I wish they had a good deal like that around here, many of the stores that had deals like that are cutting them out now or changing the programs to make them not nearly as good for the consumer.

Kent- I wish we had something like that around here (Tampa), I think higher gas prices is something we are going to have live with.

Georgina - thanks for being the first to comment!  $4/gallon gas isn't funny...but it is a reality.  I expect to see Tucson near that point after Memorial Weekend, sadly enough.

Chris - I don't know how long these will last, but I'll take advantage of them while they're still around (and my office just relocated a block from the Albertsons with the gas)!

Pam - you are so right.

Good tips, Kent. Hopefully these discounting programs will still be in effect when we get out there.  Driving thru town this morning, I saw 3.25/3.19 for the high/low on self serv regular here in Marshfield, MA, and these had both jumped a nickle since last night.  Big oil is such a beautiful thing...................
