Are you getting ready for spring cleaning? I am ready to whip our home into shape. We have been getting routine maintenance done, and I’m glad to be making headway.

In preparing for grilling season, we took advantage of the Blue Rhino propane deal at Walmart this week and next week.

Blue Rhino Tank (New), $46.82

Buy 1, get a $25 Walmart gift card

$3/1 Blue Rhino Coupon *print limit reached*
$3/1 Blue Rhino Rebate – one per household per calendar year

 

Blue Rhino Tank Exchange, $18.92

Buy 1, get a $10 Walmart gift card

$3/1 Blue Rhino Coupon *print limit reached*
$3/1 Blue Rhino Rebate – one per household per calendar year

Our First Propane Tank Exchange

I knew we needed one of our tanks refilled, so I printed the $3 off coupon from coupons.com earlier this week. We ventured out to our Walmart, and I exchanged our tank for $15.92 and received the $10 Walmart gift card. I will also submit for the $3 mail-in rebate which is the best deal I have found on propane.

After putting the new tank away, Paul discovered that we had another empty tank. So, I will be off to Walmart again. Since I do not have the $3 off coupon as the print limit has been reached, I am going to wait until Tuesday, April 1, 2014, as this deal continues in our area through next week.

Our Second Propane Tank Exchange

At the beginning of each month, Coupons.com resets their coupons. I am hopeful that the Blue Rhino coupon will reset. Then I can snag a second tank exchange for $12.92. If the coupon does not reset, then I will make sure to stop by Walmart by Saturday, April 5, and proceed as follows.

I will exchange the second tank at the $18.92 price, use the $10 Walmart gift card from the first tank purchase, and pay $8.92. I will then get another $10 Walmart gift card. For both tanks, I will pay $24.84, get $3 cash back from the rebate, and have a $10 Walmart gift card remaining.

If you are in need of a propane tank exchange or a new one, then make your plans to snag this deal. Our Walmart will exchange any tank for a Blue Rhino. If you have another brand of tank, then check with your Walmart. You might be able to get this deal even without an original Blue Rhino swap.

With offers like the Walmart Blue Rhino propane deal which is available through Saturday, April 5, 2014, we can enjoy grilling in the great outdoors without paying retail or full price for our propane. In using time wisely, I found this propane deal worth the time to stop by Walmart to keep stretching our dollars. Happy savings!

Question: How often do you grill out during the year? 

2012: Walmart Gas Promotion

2012 Walmart Gas Promotion

Yeah! Walmart has brought back their gas promotion. Though I did not take advantage of the Walmart gas promotion last year, I know many of you did.

Having had a year to get accustomed to Fuelperks! and now with the additional trips to school, I am ready to see the savings at the pump.

Finding a gas promotion that works in your area and accepted at locations you frequent can prove tricky. In using Fuelperks!, I tried a couple of locations before discovering that redeeming at our Sunoco station gave the deepest discount.

With the Walmart gas promotion, only participating Murphy USA stations grant the discount. (NOTE: Not all states will see the full discount. 🙁 )

The Walmart Gas Promotion

Walmart is rolling back their gas prices from August 31 to December 24, 2012, with two tiers of savings for customers using one of these Walmart cards:

Walmart Gift Card – get $.10 off per gallon

Walmart MoneyCard or Credit Card – get $.15 off per gallon

Getting the Walmart Cards

Gift Cards are available for purchase in the store or on-line. The gift cards have no fees. The balance is non-refundable if the card is lost or stolen.

MoneyCards, similar to a debit card, are available in store and on-line. The MoneyCard carries a $3 monthly fee, but your money is safe if the card is lost or stolen. Depending on where and how you obtain your MoneyCard, you may incur extra fees.

Credit Cards are limited to either a Walmart Discover or Walmart Credit Card. Both require an application process with no annual fee. The Walmart Discover offers the added benefit of earn 1% cash back on your purchases.

In using time wisely to purchase and load or apply and receive your Walmart card, you can save on each refill at the pump while stretching your dollars.

As you consider the Walmart gas promotion, check for participation at your Murphy USA location, determine the cost of the Walmart card, estimate your savings, and evaluate the savings at other gas stations.

Though the Walmart gas promotion is a great deal, it may not end up stretching your dollars. Happy calculating!
