Use Up Those Fuel Rewards!

Use Up Those Fuel Rewards!

125/365 I stopped by the Safeway gas station this afternoon and pulled up to the pump to redeem my fuel rewards before two of them expire tomorrow. When the display informed me I'd be redeeming for 90¢ off per gallon, I quickly cancelled the transaction. I'm not going to lose out on that extra 10¢ (x17 gallons), right? Daddy to…

Most people probably don't give much thought to these offers because sometimes the spending limit is high, like $200 or $300. However, since I buy gift cards frequently, my spending…

93/365 It's that time of year to evaluate your charitable giving for 2018 in order to reap the benefits on your taxes come April (or February if you're not a procrastinator). It seems counterintuitive, but you can actually save money in the long run by increasing your giving now. Standard Deduction Let me explain. The IRS has an allowance for…
