On days I know I’ll need to buy gas – I check it ahead of time and look for the best deal in my normal path for the day.
I don’t drive out of my way to buy gas… that’s stupid. But if I’m at Costco – I’ll get gas there.
I also time my costco runs, in general, to avoid crowds. Not on weekends, not at lunchtime, etc.[/quote]
This.(thumbs up) I wouldnt go near costco unless its at 9am on a weekend. Fillup gas, have a list prepared and go down the back aisles to bypass all the grannys and newbs window shopping everything in the store.
