Jeff and I do most of our grocery shopping at a nearby Giant Food store. Like so many large grocery chains, this one has a customer loyalty card (read, marketing and research device).

I don't know about the gas in around Mayhem Acres, but the fuel around here has at least 10% ethanol in the mix. My Fusion doesn't seem to care, but in Brian's lower-tech Ranger, going a bit out of the way to find ethanol-free fuel was often worthwhile, even if the cost was a few cents more.
With a significant portion of ethanol, the Ranger gets 17mpg or so. Without, it tends to be about 20 or 21 - a fairly significant amount.

I remember the purchase limit of $50 or $75. Brian previously had an F250 (gas) that would take about $130 to fill - and Brian is infamous for running a vehicle on 'empty' for days. It was almost a point of pride to see how long he could go...

Our Tops does that gas thing (yes, we actually have a grocery store called Tops, and no, there are no Bottoms) LOL. They can't hold a candle to Wegmans, although they do have good meat.

That whole cleaning thing would have put me over the edge. At least he ponied up 20 bucks.

I have never been one to accumulate points. I just don;t have the patience.

I am sorry to hear that your pain is so intense..especially when lying down.
