Hey Folks!

Today I discovered a big money saving tip and wanted to share the savings with my AR family (along with anyone one else looking).

Looking at the recent profit announcements of the gas companies I figure they must make all that money because of the amount of labor they save. It seems that no one really does research on pricing, they just put out a price and it seems that everyone else just follows the leader. Now this is nothing new, I am been buying gas for 30-years and it has always been the same thing until this morning.

After I dropped off the munchkin's the display came on my dash to "get gas now, dummy!" (or something like that). I do live near a Sam's Club and a Costco and the tiny voice went off in my head "get gas at Sam's, its cheaper" (it was my wife's voice). Now we have had this membership for years but today is the first day I think it was worth the money.

Here is what I learned:

• - Along with Discover cards, They take all 
    the  majors and debit cards.
• - They have clean, well spaced pumps.
• - You do not have to be a member to
     purchase fuel.
• - Different price for "debit" vs. "credit" card.
• - Priced way under the corner stations.

YES, priced way under. Today most stations were priced at $364.9 (btw, whoever came up with the .9 thing?) Sam's member price $345.9, non-member price $350.9. Add two cents a gallon for credit card.

Quite impressive. I put 20-gallons in and saved almost $4.00. Remember the way to be profitable this year is not by raising prices but  by controlling expenses. According to that voice (my wife), Sam's has always had a big price difference. Reading up on some articles today I also found that most gas is the same.We have high standards that must be maintained.

Now go save some money!
