Cheap Gas with Giant Points and Minute Maid Money Back Guarantee!

Today my main goal was to get some cheap gas into my tank, since I was at about 1/8 tank and I have a long drive to make this afternoon. Since I get 2 editions of the Sunday Washington Post by subscription, I had two of the 300 Bonus Points coupons to use, and today is the last day to use them.

Here is what I did with them at Giant:

Transaction #1
I got a $50.00 Giant gift card, Dole salad kit for $3.99, and bottle of Minute Maid Light 15 juice for $2.89.  My subtotal was $57.05 with tax.

Notice the "Love It Or It's FREE" tag on the Minute Maid!

I used my free Dole salad kit coupon and the $3.00 catalina that I got from the Reach floss deal earlier this week.

My total cost was $50.06 and I got the 300 bonus gas points.

Transaction #2
I got a $50.00 Shell gift card, loaf of bakery bread from the clearance rack for $1.99, and a box of family sized Ritz crackers on sale for $3.99. My subtotal was $57.71 including tax.

I used my free Ritz cracker coupon from My Coke Rewards and a $1.00 store coupon that was on the bread.  My total came to $51.11. I paid $50.00 with the Giant gift card from the first transaction and $1.11 out of pocket.

Then I went to Shell to fill up my tank. I got almost 18 gallons and paid $2.79 per gallon with my 600 bonus gas points using the $50.00 gift card from the above transaction!

Summary
I spent $50.00 for a full tank of gas and $1.17 on the groceries pictured, but I will mail off for the Money Back Guarantee on the Minute Maid for a $2.89 refund!
