I used to do that with Jewel (owned by Albertson's), but now they along with Mariano's (owned by Kroger) have weekly sale items that require a digital coupon be clipped. You need your own account and login to the app to take advantage. And in the latter case, Kroger Pay is hella convenient. One scan of a code from your phone gets you the discounts, coupons, points (used for gas discounts in this case), and payment info all in one shot.

I was using my great aunt's phone number until around 2 years ago. I was sad when it stopped working because it was a nice reminder of her.

not following, do you mean your Grandparents' phone # to use for getting supermarket points, or you've actually acquired the number for a land line or cell #?

I know, trust me. I was an only Grandchild on one side. To say we were close is putting it very mildly.

My Grandparents didn't live in Knoxville but they lived in a similar sized city where there were Krogers and that's where they shopped. I use their ollllld landline phone number for their Kroger Plus points, I type it in, instead of scanning a card or whatever for gas points. Their phone # still works. I don't see why it would ever stop because it's used so frequently. I sure hope it never stops working, at least.

Forgive me for snapping a pick while driving (HUD kind of gives it away), but I didn't want to miss a chance to snap this pic. Was behind a Porsche 928 today. I'm guessing a '95 model or so. Thought it pic-worthy as I haven't seen one of these in quite some time.

Nice. Porsches don’t really do it for me but this gen 911 does, saw it yesterday.


Lol just now a minute ago this ollllld 80 series Land Cruiser with a cougar inside we were waving and chatting it up cruising slow through a school zone. Love the enthusiasm Land Cruiser owners have. (I was in LX.)

Haha you are correct and that’s hilarious because I thought the exact same thing as I was along side it.

The lady was so nice. Not someone you’d look at on the street and think was a LC enthusiast driving a 30 year old one, which is what makes it neat.

Don't see these every day! Did you see Jeremy Clarkson's story about the 928 in the Top Gear Argentina special?
