Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will expire

30 days
from date of issuance." So, all
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.

Based on that, 200# of cats = over a dozen fat cats - if any of

it were
true.


Well, he made it up If he really had bought all the stuff he

said he
did, he would have known that half of it wasn't eligible, even

more, he
wouldn't have gotten the discount he based the whole lie on in

the first
place...



Dumb, dumber, and dumbest...extrapolating cat food intake and cost

from
what a dog eats, in terms of quality or price or quantity. Our cats

eat
a mix of wet and dry food, and neither brand is cheap.



Oh, we have more than two cats.



As always, I'm happy to provide some entertainment for several of

the
right-wing mooks here. :)
