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.
My cats won't go near the food the vets sell, especially the Hill's
Prescription Diet, wet or dry.

Our outdoor friends, the foxes, raccoons, possums, et cetera, all go for
Purina Dog Chow, so we buy a couple of big bags of it for them each
month. We also give them leftovers. A stand of forest a few miles away
was just clearcut by a homebuilder/developer. That means a lot more
critters are now homeless, and we'll probably see a few of them, the
ones who aren't killed crossing the streets.

I am not a huge fan of feeding wild animals. It is creating an
unnatural environment that hurts them in the end. You will al;so find
that you end up with a lot more undesirable critters like rats.


Knock on plastic, we so far haven't even seen a mouse on the property.
My guess is that it has something to do with all the the predator birds
in the area, including hawks*, owls, crows, et cetera. You always see
them swooping down on nearby fields, and taking off with something juicy
in their beaks. I'm sure the foxes and maybe the possums and raccoons
also help keep down the rodent population.

* We have one for sure and possibly two nests of cooper's hawks in the
woods behind the back yard.

Speaking of wildlife...today I had to scrape a small egg off my
sidewalk..... with a carcass of a tiny dead bird inside....
Must have fallen out of a nearby tree in our high winds.

Probably died from the toxic fumes coming from that garbage pit you live
in.
