Grocery loyalty programs offer fuel points, digital coupons, and personalized discounts that most shoppers ignore. At Kroger, every $100 spent earns 10 cents off per gallon of gas — fill up a 20-gallon tank and that is $20 saved. Stack manufacturer coupons from the store app with Ibotta and Fetch Rewards rebates on the same items. Families spending $800 per month on groceries can extract $100-$200 monthly in combined fuel savings, rebates, and loyalty discounts on stuff they already buy.
🚀 First Step
Download your grocery store's loyalty app, clip all digital coupons before your next trip, and install Ibotta and Fetch Rewards to scan your receipt after.
  • Buy store-brand gift cards for restaurants and retailers you already use — Kroger gives 2x-4x fuel points on gift card purchases
  • Stack Ibotta and Fetch Rewards on the same receipt because they are separate apps that both pay rebates independently
  • Plan one monthly stock-up trip around 4x fuel point weekends and digital coupon resets to maximize the return on a single trip
