    Casey's has their own discount. And thery are affiliated with Hy-Vee's

    (Ankeny, IA)

    I'm a member of Hy-Vee's Perks+ club and get cents per gallon discount
    on some of their grocery items or, like the current offer (today) spend
    U$50 and get 25c per gallon discount at Hy-Vee's pumps or any Caseys.

    Since both my brother and I have MotoMart WAND cards that feature
    50c/gallon off the price on the sign. I let my room-mate use my

    Hi Dave,

    Somehow the internal working of either my terminal program or the BBS software mangaled a pert of my post to you titled "Smoking"

    Guess computer gremlins get busy in warm weather. I don't know why but I
    had several days of no mail last week. It fetched but didn't go beyond
    that; I just let it ride and it staightened out on Friday.

    Sounds like a good deal. Harris Teeter is heavily promoting their
    rewards program on tv--so many gas points for shopping and quadruple
    points on Fridays. Good if you shop there regularly but if we go, we try
    to go on Thursdays, their senior discount day. I guess you can get up to
    a dollar off per gallon.

    I'm sure he appreciates it. Most often we get our gas locally at Sam's
    Club or if in Raleigh, Costco. When we were in Hawaii over July 4 week
    end, we rented a car, gassed it up at the Scofield Barracks gas station
    Monday morning. Then we drove (almost) around the island, topped it off
    at the Pearl Harbor gas station. Didn't even take a gallon the 2nd time.

    Lots of carbs but it looks good. Personally, I'd use less red pepper and
    let diners add more to their own taste.
