If you have a drivers license, you know that around the United States we are seeing a huge increase in gas prices.  CNN said that it is going to be over $4.00 a gallon soon.

We have all also seen the stores offering "gas incentives".  A couple of places in Columbus, OH are cheaper than others with Costco in the Polaris Area usually being a few cents below that rest of the area. 

The best deal for our family has been Giant Eagle.  For every $50 we spend on groceries, we get $.10 off per gallon.  Sometimes there are promotions and you will get $.20 off per gallon.  You can save up the "savings" and spend it when you want.  I usually wait until I have about $2.00 off per gallon.

In addition to the offers, there are also restrictions .  What offer doesn't have them, right??  At Giant Eagle, you can only get up to 30 gallons at the discount price and you can only fill up one vehicle.

One Vehicle?  My car only hold 15 gallons, so every time I fill up, I am leaving 15 gallons unused and lost !!!!!  No Fair !!!!

So here is the tip.  I have done this about 7-8 times right in front of the employees.  Is it within the rules?  I don't know.  Nobody has ever said a word.

Fill up the gas cans.  I have 15 gallons of gas cans in the garage and use them for the other 15 gallons that my tank won't hold.

Don't buy those gas cans new at the store.  You can buy gas cans at the store, but it will take a fill up or two to pay them off.  I'd check out a couple of local garage sales and get them for $1 each.
