Savings On Gasoline

--by terre, posted Oct 18, 2015

I order most of my groceries online and the store delivers them for a nominal fee. The fee is much less than what I used to spend traveling to a grocery store and home, and trying to get everything I bought loaded on my walker and into my building and up to my apartment.

For the past couple of months my receipt has included another receipt that gives some money off the price of gasoline at a local gas station. Through this past weekend I collected 12 of these receipts with the savings on each one being either 6 cents off each litre or 7 cents off each litre of gasoline, for one purchase up to 75 litres. This is pretty sweet.

I don't own a car.

Today I took all the coupons to work and gave them to my co-workers. It was fun. We ended up talking about the kinds of vehicles they had and how much this could save them on a fill up. A couple even offered to give me a ride someplace if I needed one.

Mostly I felt relieved that I was able to give them all away. The expiry date on them is October 15, 2015 and I wanted to make sure they would all be used.

There are 13 happy people from this exchange -- the 12 I gave a coupon to, and me.

Costs you nothing but a few moment of your time to pass them on, and creates a great feeling all round :) We get those vouchers where I live too, but unfortunately you have to present your loyalty card when you use them which means they're hard to pass on. One of our supermarkets is giving away tokens for soft toys though, and I've been having fun passing those on to both children we know and random children in the supermarket.
