So, let me break this down for you:
To save $1.00 per gallon of gas, I will need to spend $1,000.00 or more in ONE MONTH (regular shelf price)! My SUV holds 25 gallons of gas, so if my tank was empty, I would save $25 off my gas purchase.
Spend $1,000 = Save $25! (for my SUV) How is that smart? Kroger, How will this help a greater number of people to save money in the Houston Market?
I will be able to use my coupons at face value only,(NO double or triple coupons!) therefore it will be much harder for me to reach the $1,000.00 mark than ever before in a month.
Realistically, There is NO possible way that I will ever save $1 per gallon of gas in this program!
I only buy gas at Kroger because of my loyalty to the store for double/triple coupons! Which does not exist in Houston anymore! Therefore, most all of my shopping and fuel purchases will be done elsewhere.
Strategically using coupons at Kroger has saved my family thousands of dollars and provided us with many products that otherwise we could not have had in our household AND/OR been able to help other families/organizations in need.
What do you think about the new fuel program?
Will you continue to shop at Kroger?
The new fuel program stinks! Unless there is an incredibly good sale (and I mean it will have to awesome), Kroger has seen my money for the last time….I honestly prefer other stores for many items, but shopped at Kroger because of the doubling/tripling coupons…..by losing that, there is absolutely no need for me to shop there anymore. I have other stores that are closer to my house, as well.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on this issue!
I did not know about the Kroger changes. I only shop there with double coupons. Otherwise, they are typically more expensive. I am not happy about this.
I am so disappointed at Kroger.. I got there weekly to do my shopping.. My other options are HEB and Walmart. I don’t like either because of the crowds.. Yesterday I put on a brave face, and a lot of patience (I don’t like crowds), and said hello to my new grocery store.. HEB.
Added, I love your blog! 🙂
I am so disappointed at Kroger’s as well…I will be looking for another store maybe Randall’s if they still triple or double…I’m very upset…
