Kroger buys Albertson's/Safeway

[terracore]

"I don't understand why people shop at Safeway. Why not keep your money on the island?"

The second reason is the gas.  When you shop there enough you get an extra discount on fuel when you have a member card number.  Something like 10 cents off per gallon after enough money spent.  They put a cap on that though.  I know some families that used to line up all uncles, cousins, braddah, tutu, friends etc. cars to all get a part of that 10c off per gallon when you're awarded it.

Gas is usually cheaper than Safeway at Big Island Energy, even with 10 cents off per gallon. 

But more important to me, I've never seen a line at BIE.  There has never been a time where I couldn't just drive up to a vacant pump and use it.

Today's prices (gas buddy):

BIE $4.57
Safeway $4.79
