Not to be a thread crapper but these Giant deals which assume a 25 gallon gas fill up are sort of a waste for most.

Unless you drive a motor home or huge SUV, very few cars have a 25 gallon tank, most are 12 to 18 now. thus you’d save about $35 with a 14 gallon fill up (assuming a 15 gallon tank with 1 gallon in the tank). that in itself kills the money maker aspect of this.

additionally, in my area I’d spend about 30-50c more a gallon at Giant vs driving over the border to NJ where gas is much, much cheaper than in PA.

Therefore, for the vast majority, these “MM” deals at Giant that get circulated on some shopper websites apply only to those who can manage to get 25 gallons of gas in one shot when they redeem the $2.50 per gallon savings option at the pump. the points get redeemed the same whether you get 11 gallons or 25 gallons at said fill up.

I used to get whole inserts but ended up with a lot of unused coupons. I also use CFM. I try to buy from the seller nearest to me and over the years have become a “preferred customer” :). She’ll make custom orders for me, e.g. 10 of 1 and 10 of another when she only has sets of 20 listed. There are a couple of sellers who get their inserts much earlier than others. I watch for them to list.

Mail delivery has really messed up coupon delivery. I’m still waiting for an order placed 2/27 for a sale starting tomorrow. OTH, an order placed 3/2 from the same seller has arrived.

Check your Pay Pal. I just got paid the amount that was in my old Savingstar account with the following message:

thanks for the heads up. Yep, sure enough, mine came through too. $8.75. nice little bonus since it would have taken forever to get back up to $20 on savingstar to cash out.
