'scuse me while I pop out for a few minutes, an' pop some corn in the corn poppin' thingy...........................................

;-)))

Hmmm.... Axle and its not even the middle of the week yet

Old English saying "Penny wise, Pound foolish"

We have locals who drive 220km there and back to get cheaper food at Woolies. NOt much sense in that, eh?

Prices are pretty static in the bush. Local businesses are feeling the financial pinch and some fuel resellers are giving discounts.

Diesel is down to $1.23 today...WOW!...lol

I fuel up when I have to. Couple of cents here or there in the scheme of things doesn't make much impact on life.

Please tell your SWMBO to un-stress her life and buy on impulse!....LOL

Yeah ..... and go slow on the refreshments mate...hahahahaha

Woolies have found a way to hook me.
They give another 4c off if you purchase $5 worth of products. I put in at least 150 litres each time. This means that they pay me $1 to take away $5 worth of products. Sounds petty but it gives me a chuckle every time!
Of course it helps that they are one of the few places selling LPG and I have to drive past them regardless.

I got an e-mail from the Woolies Rewards people inviting me to have 17cpl discount if I spend $250 in one of their supermarkets in the next four days. I think we would have to shop for two or three families at once (single transaction only permitted). Not impossible but a bit tricky for the wife and myself.

Cost of time and cost of travelling - there's got to be another reason. Better girl things shops near the servo?

Around our way, other servos are about 2c cheaper than woolies without discount so the 4c is not very real.

I am very concerned that the obsession most people have with woolies servos is making them into the monopoly they want to become.

The saving on fuel is for some reason as most think it is real bargain but don't drive all over town to chase a few cents with other items. As stated it is $4 for 100litres and most (except us 4wd types) don't get 100 litres.

Convenience of the nearest servo whatever the brand and the breaking of woolies monopoly is worth something to me. I do use woolies but they have to be nearby when I want them. I certainly never chase them.

One of the things I do like about moving from the petrol Paj to the diesel Jack is not having to wait in lines at the servo on Tuesday's for the cheap fuel.

There is no discount cycle on diesel in Adelaide so I just pull in when I need it.

Don't you realise that it is the supermarkets that are keeping fuel prices high???

If everybody stopped buying from supermarket controlled outlets the prices would drop almost overnight!

I have one of these discount fuel stations near my place. Every day without fail , every after noon - they are , lined up out the driveway - a quick look shows at least 5 cars waiting at each pump ( about 12 in total ) now average fill up is 5-7 min inc paying in store

now the average car is the standard ford - holden 4 cyl - or 6 cyl - so on average they are saving maybe $1.20 of the price of the fuel. dont know about you fellas - but for $1.20 i am not going to sit in a petrol station for up to 25 min - i just continue on my way to the local independent - i pay a few dollars more , but i dont have to wait in line and no Pump rage
