This is another great week to try out the Giant gas deals, if you have never tried it before. Here is how I do the calculating . . .
You earn $.40 off per gallon if you buy 5 of these items. To fill up 25 gallons (make sure to get a 5 gallon gas can or two in order to maximize the amount you can fill up), that means 25 x .40 = $10.00 gas earnings. Since you have to buy 5 items, you earn $2 off per item sale price ($10/5 = 2).
Therefore, you can subtract $2.00 from each listed price. This week, that makes several items completely FREE even without a coupon!
Lender’s Bagels, $1.50
$2.00 gas earnings
$.50 moneymaker!!
Alexia Frozen Vegetables, $2.00
$2.00 gas earnings
FREE
Hanover Frozen Vegetables, $1.66 each
$2.00 gas earnings
$.33 moneymaker!!
Or, if there is a coupon available, you can deduct that yet too. Like in these examples.
Dole Smoothie Shaker, $2.00
$2.00 gas earnings
$.50/1 Dole Shakers coupon (no longer available)
$1.00 moneymaker (because coupon doubles)
These prices hold true as long as you buy 5 items. You don’t need to buy five of each item, just make sure you buy ANY 5 items so you get the total $.40 per gallon gas savings.
