Have you noticed that, lately, the cost of petrol has been making a huge dent in your budget? Thankfully, there are always new and innovative ways to save money and ease some of life's financial burdens—like the petrol 'tip' this Aussie woman happily discovered!
Social media influencer Alex Davidson picked up this nifty trick while shopping at 7-Eleven.
Taking to social media to share her discovery, she said she uses a feature in the My 7-Eleven app (available on App Store and Google Play) called 'Fuel Locking', which allows customers to compare prices and 'lock in' the lowest price they can find for up to seven days.
The post quickly gained traction, earning almost 120,000 views from other cost-conscious shoppers.
So, how does the Fuel Lock feature work?
With this tool, you can locate nearby 7-Eleven Stores that offer your preferred fuel, all while discovering the best local prices available. And that's not all—if you want to secure the best deal, you can lock in the current local price for your preferred fuel type, for a period of up to 7 days, right from the convenience of the app.
Once you've successfully locked in the price, the app will ensure that your Fuel Lock remains secure until the specified expiry date. When the time comes to fill up your tank, you'll have the privilege of purchasing your selected fuel type at the Fuel Lock price, limited to a single transaction. All you need to do is present your app to redeem your Fuel Lock and enjoy the benefits of this exclusive offer.
'This is your PSA [public service announcement] if you're not using the 7-Eleven app and fuel locking your price. I just saved $18 on my fuel because I locked in a good price and it lasts like seven days. The guy behind the counter was literally shocked,' Davidson said.
And the feedback kept on coming: 'Literally the best thing ever!! I've saved so much using it,' said one follower.
'I saved $25 the other day; I was so happy,' said another.
'I saved $42 once! Locked in 98 for $1.60 in Bathurst and filled up in Sydney where it was $2.40,' a third commenter said.
Suppose you don't have any 7-Eleven stores nearby, no need to fret! You still have alternative ways to compare and save on fuel prices.
One such solution is the Petrol Spy website, a clever tool designed to assist you in finding the lowest price for the fuel you require. Simply enter your city or postcode, and voila! All the necessary details will be right at your fingertips.
Gone are the days when saving on petrol was a tedious task. Thanks to today's technology, a few simple clicks and taps on your phone can make a significant difference to your wallet. Who would have thought it could be so effortless?
