I have been averaging a dollar per gallon for over a year now in Indiana. Just get a gas card. At my store https://www.kroger.com/fuelfaqs?storeNumber=02900364 https://www.kroger.com/fuelfaqs?storeNumber=02900364 "up to 1,000 fuel points can be redeemed for up to 1 dollar off per gallon at Kroger Fuel Centers in a single transaction"
So I buy my groceries, accumulate 1000 fuel points & then fill up once a month.
Ofcourse, it all balances out - my wife has an EV & pays $150 back to the state :( https://www.myev.com/research/interesting-finds/states-that-charge-extra-fees-to-own-an-electric-vehicle https://www.myev.com/research/interesting-finds/states-that-...
- brianwawok 7y agoThe downside (also from Indiana) is you have to go to Kroger. It’s about the third chain in line of grocery stores I want to go to due to general dirtiness and high end product selection.
- dxbydt 7y agoSorry, I am relatively new to your state. This my second year in Indiana. I tried going to Meijer https://www.meijer.com/ https://www.meijer.com/ a few times. imo clientele's too posh & everything felt too upscale, clean & stuck up. I tend to skew blue collar. When I think grocery I want a see an unkempt farmer pull up in a truck & dump 100 pounds of broccoli in crates so there's stalk and leaves all over the store, and that is exactly Kroger. I then get to pick up the broccoli for a dollar. If I go to Meijer they wrap the broccoli nicely in plastic & charge $5. I don't have that kind of spare change. For $5 you can rent a whole vm on linode & get a business going.
- cableshaft 7y agoI know a guy that thinks Meijer is below him, and won't shop there. Likens it to a low-grade Wal-mart. And he lives near me and so I know which Meijer's he's been to, and there's nothing wrong with those stores. I certainly have no problem shopping there, and I think it's cleaner than most local stores (that aren't high end, there's quite a few of those around here), certainly better than Wal-mart, although Wal-Mart does have a better delivery service, we just found out yesterday. Meijer has cheaper Broccoli than that. Just checked their website, and you can get broccoli for $2 a pound, or a giant 32 oz bag of fresh florets for $5, which I guess is what you're referring to, but that's easier to cook with and prepare, so there's probably more demand for it in that form, and has similar prices elsewhere (my local Wal-Mart has that priced at $6 right now). You can also buy 12 oz bags of frozen broccoli for $1 each right now at Meijer. And I'm near Chicago, which is probably more expensive than Indiana. Even the Whole Foods near me is only selling broccoli for $2.50 a pound.
- brianwawok 7y agoHonestly each stories varies a lot by location. In general, Meijer is a direct competitor to Walmart. Cheap, and low end. Kroger is the bargain basement grocery store chain. Has all your groceries. A few fancier items. A real selection (unlike say an Aldi that only stocks some products). But not fancy at all. Amusing that your local Meijer is fancy. Most Meijer are not. There are some nice and new and fancy ones, same with Kroger (went to a few real nice Krogers in Indy).

- balls187 7y agoThe kroger rewards in WA allow you to use phone numbers at the pump. Automatic $0.10/gal discount. Also, who's Jenny?
