How To Save Money On Gas, Guaranteed

In order to get the greatest gas rewards, you need to spend a lot of cash at that grocery store. If you're like me, you need cheap gas because you don't have the kind of cash to buy a lot at a grocery store so find someone else with a shopping cart full of items. If it's a little old lady, even better.

You need to at least buy something to just grab a pack of gum or a bottle of Mountain Dew - anything is fine. Just stand in line behind them. Even if they offer to let you go through first, just politely decline, stating you have all the time in the world. You'll need to be within ear shot of the person in front of you. Pay attention.

More often than not, the person with a mound of food in their shopping cart won't have their rewards card on them so they'll opt to just tell the person at the check stand their phone number - out loud. Now, if they use their rewards card, abort mission and find someone else, you need that phone number. Some locations allow you to type in your phone number in the debit machine, watch out for those, too.

Here's the part that gets shady. That little old lady's phone number, the one she said out loud, that's your gas rewards number to use. You'll need to use that gas station from the store whether it's the Safeway on 24th and Nob Hill or on Mead, Fred Meyer or the Albertson's on 16th and Lincoln, you would save a few cents. Depending on how much they have in gas rewards (which is why you wanted to find someone with a lot of groceries), you can save .10 cents a gallon, sometimes. Again, this is completely immoral and probably illegal, but I bet it would work. I would never do this, but the idea crossed my mind the other day.
