Today's post is all about fuel. Fuel for the vehicle and fuel for heat.
Gas for the car is an ongoing expense. Thankfully our grocery store, Price Chopper, has a program where we earn gas discounts when we buy groceries. In a nutshell we are able to earn 10 cents off per gallon of gas for every $50 spent in the store. The details of the program can be seen here. We use the discount to fill the van as it is good for up to 20 gallons per purchase. My car gas tank is only 10 gallons and it is difficult to remember to keep the gas cans in the trunk for the extra 10 gallons at a discounted rate. My husband filled his van this week with an 80 cent per gallon discount.
Total Savings: $16.00
Shell has a gas card that gives you 5% back on your gas purchases. Exxon has a card with rebates as well. I am sure that there are others out there as well.
For those of us in the colder regions of the US winter heat is a big expense. Thankfully, the state of Vermont has a fuel assistance program for those who are income eligible. Your state may have one too. It is worth checking into as this can be a very hefty expense. I do not have details on the amount of assistance/savings at this point.
