Bought gas at under $3.00/gallon today! It's been a long time

[No Vested Interest]

since I paid so little for a fill-up.

Have to admit I used a bonus $.30/gallon from Kroger shopping . This is in Ohio.
The price without bonus was $3.28+, and I hadn't seen even that low for I don't know how long.
My Kroger bonus came from double bonus points they give for weekend shopping, otherwise I don't rack up that many points in a month.

Yes, it does feel good, though realistically, the savings is no big deal and I blow that amount on mindless purchases regularly.
Old habits of frugality are hard to lose.

4. Gas was $1.46 a gallon when the last President Clinton left the White House.

I like to remind my right-leaning muscle car friends of that fact.

I lived in north Georgia for a while. Gas was 87 cents a gallon. The sign was not broken. 87 cents.

12. Yep. 20 gal maximum so we topped off two cars.

Parked one on each side of the pump.

ever think of that?
Not too late to learn!

9. I paid $3.28 WITH a grocery bonus,

price without it was $3.58.

I do few 'mindless purchases,' but do have a new grandbaby so try to save my cash!

11. Those pennies do add up, I'm told.

Congratulations on the grandbaby - much joy in your household, I expect.

13. Thanks!

Yes, the pennies add up. I 'shop' for best prices, always do, so over the years its worth something.

14. I started using this site when gas prices began rising so rapidly

I've found a surprising difference in gas prices even for the stations closest to me. People post local gas prices from all over the U.S. and Canada...

17. My daughter uses gasbuddy.com. nt

I stay close to home and usually find using Kroger points works best for me.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I've found it very helpful, started posting prices myself

I also get points for cents off a gallon from Price Chopper, but it depends on the prices. The gas stations closest to me currently vary by more than 20-cents-a-gallon. The last group of prices I posted went from $3.58.9-a-gallon to $3.83.9!

15. My kids always seem to get to my Safeway bonus before I do. I've been driving around the state

looking at colleges and I was surprised to find that where I live now is one of the cheapest places at $3.69/gal. Down in Santa Barbara it was $4.38/gal. Kettleman City they were charging $4.68/gal.

18. Boo Kettleman City.

Is that a town or a gas station?

[mackerel]

20. LOL! I think it is the halfway mark on I-5. They do have a population of around 1400 but

I think you're right, it's one big petrol station.

21. $3.67 in Sacramento. Not great, but like the boiled frog, I'll take it.
