Earn 200 Extra Tops Gas Points

As promised, I've taken a look at the bonus gas points deal and come up with a few deal ideas. There's a second 200pt opportunity, but it doesn't look like it will be as good a deal. (I'll try to get back to you on that.) Here's the low down:

There's lots of ways you could work this deal, but this looks to be the best option:

Deal Idea:
Buy 8 Knorr Lipton Sides = $8
Use (4) $0.50/2, doubled = Less $4
Final cost = $4, or $0.50 each
You’ll also earn $0.20 off per gallon of gas. If you purchase 10 gallons of gas, that’s another $2savings making the final cost $2 or $0.25 per item. If you add two more add items with manufacturers coupons (for 10 coupons total), you’ll earn $0.30 off per gallon!

The add doesn’t say anything about a limit on how many times you can work this deal, so I think I may need to give a call and ask. I don’t have any Q-tips or pasta sauce in my stockpile yet, so I’ll be making a second trip with John’s card for this transaction:

Deal Idea 2:
Buy 6 Ragu Pasta Sauce = $10
Buy 2 Q-Tips = $5.98
Use (2) $1.25/3 Ragu  = Less $2.50
Use (2) $0.30/1 Q-Tips, doubled = Less $1.20
Final cost = $12.28, after $0.20/gallon on 15 gallons of gas(John has a bigger tank) = $9.28 or $1.16 each
Not as good as deal 1, but...
