If you are heading to Giant this week, here is a scenario when you buy 7 items and earn 400 gas points. While you could get the Tuna for the biggest money maker, Joe decided to take advantage and stock up on paper plates – something we rarely see free! This is a great way to take advantage of gas deals!
Check out Joe’s scenario below.
Purchase:
- (5) Giant Chunk Light Tuna $.88 each
- (2) Dixie Plates $3.99 each

Pay $11.38 + tax
Get $12.00 in gas points
Free + $.62 moneymaker after coupons and gas points
Overall Joe spent $109.36, received $120.00 in gas points and his total trip was a $10.64 moneymaker for 54 cans of tuna and 16 Dixie plates.

Kelly says
What is the expiration date on the tuna? TIA!
Shannon says
The expiration date on the TUNA itself??
Kelly says
on the cans :)
Shannon says
We typically don’t ask people what their expiration dates are on products they purchase – because it doesn’t pertain to the deal. I am guessing every store would have very different expiration dates based on product rotation, etc.

Mine were dated for sometime in 2016!!
Ruchama says
I’m vegan, and don’t need paper plates, and my car gas tank just holds 10 gallons and I don’t have anywhere to store gas cans, but I’m pretty sure that even I can get at least a decent deal out of this one with the peanut butter, salsa, tortillas, and Bisquick (I’ve got a SavingStar deal on that one, plus coupons.) Probably not a money-maker, but definitely a lot of stuff that I’ll use for not much money. (I really wish that there was some way to extend the gas points beyond one fill-up, though — my car’s tank only holds about 10 gallons, and getting extra in gas cans isn’t an option for me.)
Andrea says
You could buy a car with a bigger gas tank?
Ruchama says
Well, I ended up not getting it anyway — they were sold out of the peanut butter and the salsa, and I didn’t want enough of the other stuff to make it worth it.
Joey says
Bummer Ruchama, you can always get rainchecks or check back with customer service during the week to see if the items have been restocked that you were looking for. :)
Stacie says
You do not need to use all your gas points at once. Right now I have $6.60 off per gallon. I will fill up at the end of the week, and still have over $3.00 off per gallon. This will go towards next week’s gas, plus whatever I earn from nest week’s gas deals. You just need to pay attention to when the points expire. This current batch expires on March 15th.
Carrie says
On the giant page, it says you can only use maximum of 2200 points per visit/ $2.20 per gallon. Is that not true? Can you use more points if you have them? I’m confused.
Carrie says
nevermind lol it might help if i was on the correct giant page
Joey says
Nice Stacie. Thanks for the reminder on the expiration date. :)
Debbie says
If I want to do this multiple times, can I do so in one transaction? Or do I need to split into several transactions?
Missie Lizz says
You can do the gas deal up to 10x per week and should be able to do it in one transaction unless the dixie coupon says otherwise (ie limit 4 per transaction, etc)
Debbie says
Thank you!

Stacie says
Way to go Joe!! I purchased 53 cans of tuna, 15 propel water, and two peanut butter. I spent $62.84 and received $120.00 in gas, for a profit of $57.16.
Joey says
Sweet, that’s awesome. There are so many combinations this week to make out with great deals. :)

Do you have to use all your gas points at one time? Confused on that part…
Anonymous says
You do not have to use them all at once:)
Erin says
