Awesome! I was so excited when I got my first gas card a few weeks ago, and I got one more since. This week looks like a good possibility, too, with the Tide, Cover Girl, and Dawn.
By the way, it seems the Exxon gas station in St. Clairsville is always higher in price than other local stations. I used mine at the Exxon in Wheeling on National Road across from the CVS, where it was at least $.15 cheaper than in St. Clairsville.
That’s funny that you mention the Exxon at the mall. That was my first thought when I saw it was for Exxon. I’m saving ours for a road trip we have coming up. Not using it here! The Tide was pretty picked over when I went, so call and see if they get any more on the truck if you’re going after the Tide. There were only 2 bottles of Dawn there when I got there too… just in case you’re making a special trip. 🙂
Thanks for the heads up.
Wow! Im going to have to bookmark this page because I am not to far from you all! Im right over in Steubenville.
Glad to see others are couponing in this area!
Sesalie – So good to have someone else local around here. 🙂 I actually just quit a job that I was working a few days a week in Steubenville. I did my fair share of shopping at the CVS at the Hollywood Plaza. Nice to have you stop by the site!
