Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.

So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you must spend $1000 to earn 1000 points.

Gee, what a math whiz...

Just to add to the fun:

Every week, I spend the following at Giant on our indoor pets:

Petfood $ 30
Clean Litter $ 52

That's $82 a week x 4 weeks = $328. That's 328 of 1000 points.

How many cats do you have?

I'm guessing he has two? I spend about 1/2 that on food. I buy the
litter in bulk and it lasts forever.

I was just curious. I have a 100 pound dog and he only eats about $15
a month in food, plus whatever he gets from our meat scraps. I spend
more on dog treats.
Every good deed gets a "cookie". The up side to that is he is getting
a lot more civilized. Not bad for a "3 time loser" at the pound.

You must buy the kibble in bulk?

He seems to do best on Costco "healthy weight" and that is about $18 a
40# bag. I have tried several other brands, including some real "foo
foo" stuff the vet is pushing. I watch the intake and output to decide
how he is doing. The ingredient list is pretty good too, I posted it
here a while ago.

Wow.. 40# would last Nicky about a year... well, maybe not that long.
