you dont really save that much considering how much more groceries cost there. Giant eagle is very expensive. the good thing about fuelperks though is buying the giftcards youknow youre gonna use anyway. i dont even go in the Giant eagle here. its way too expensive.
just on groceries though, for what you save on gas, you make up for in spending more than you would at another grocery store.

in my area, Giant Eagle is very reasonable...I don't buy into the whole "for what you save on gas, you make up for in spending more than you would at another grocery store" theory...

I do. The grocery store 5 mins from our house, gives .10 off per gallon, per $50 you spend.
So lets say you spend $100 at the store, you get 20 cents off the price of gas, for 1 fillup. Our Dakota has a 22 gallon tank, so on 22 gallons of gas, I would save $4.40 if I filled it up to capacity, from an empty tank, after spending $100 on groceries.(going off a price of $4.00/gallon down to $3.80, for arguments sake) Those same groceries at Wal-Mart would be far less than $100. I can tell you right now just on 2 packages of Bagel-Fulls, they are $1.76 at Wal-Mart, compared to $2.49 at Martins. Right there is almost 75 cents per package, and since I buy two, I saved $1.50. Add up those little savings over an entire shopping cart of groceries, and you've far exceeded the $4.40 you saved at the pump, by buying more expensive food.

:thumbsdown:...besides we don't shop at WalMartI don't think they have a grocery store around here anyways. We can do everything at Giant Eagle.... shopping, banking, prescriptions, bus passes, and fuel. On top of the fuelperks gained from the gift cards, which is 20 cents for every $50 around here we are saving some nice cash. By only having to stop at one location, you are way ahead already.
