VALE: Well with the banning of Coles and WOW offering fuel vouchers in excess of 4 cents as of Dec 31, my access to cheaper petrol has been cut off.
It was good while it lasted.
The two major supermarket chains would regularly run 20-30 cent per litre off discounts for $30-100 shops. Whenever the large discount vouchers were on offer I would stock up, which would then last me to the next offer. Apart from buying groceries, buying say $100 of Bunnings, or JB Hifi, or Hoyts vouchers etc would do the trick. If you needed $100 and had only say $82 of groceries you could just grab a $20 voucher to top up.
I would also buy my WOW/Coles group Gift cards at those times too, for even though they were not meant to, occasionally they would produce spit out a fuel discount too.
28 days more of cheap petrol and then it is back to paying full whack ( 4c is illusional as there are non-Coles/WOW stations which are normally cheaper by around that margin anyway).
