I haven't posted a tally for quite a long time so here is the end of April's tally.
This is a running 12 month tally. So when I get to June, when I first began keeping track of tallies, I'll be able to better figure out my true yearly savings.
From Fuelperks: $1743.87 [this is free fuel we have received]
From Foodperks: 388.44 [this is extra money off our total from buying fuel]
Weekly Specials: 2095.92 [these are in-store specials]
Coupon Savings: 1121.17 [that's free money people]
So I have saved, just in coupons, more than $1,100 for the last 12 months. Keep in mind, all I had to do was clip, organize and save. I try to buy extras on weekly specials. When we buy food at Giant Eagle, we earn $.10 for every $50 spent. If a trip costs us $150 then we just earned $.30 off each gallon of gas up to 30 gallons. It is not hard for us to reach the cost of gas every 6 weeks. We will up one of our cars, take several gasoline containers and get our entire 30 gallons free. $1700 on fuel is quite a savings.
So then when you fill up, for every 10 gallons at Giant Eagle you earn 1% of foodperks. So for 30 gallons of gas, we earn 3% off of our grocery bill. We usually what until we reach 20% and then buy $300 worth of groceries and use our 20% off our food bill to get $60 off. So this really adds up fast. My husband fills up every week and I usually am every week or week and a half, depending on where we have to drive for the weekend. We have to fill up at a GetGo which is Giant Eagle's gas station. Basically we got 6 free 30 gallon fill ups in the last 12 months.
