I buy stuff that's the same price or cheaper than at the grocery store like milk, ice, and lottery tickets. I sometimes buy gum which is like 20 cents higher. That's it.

Only the paper; maybe twice a week. So they make 3 cents each. No other convenience stuff. Ever.

Price of gas and the amount I buy almost always prohibits me from buying extras. I use to almost always purchase snacks, drinks, car washes when I stopped in.

We have a neighborhood gas station and I get all my automotive needs (gas, maintenance, repair, etc.) and feel guilty about not buying something from the limited supply of goodies it carries, because I know it helps meet the bills. But .. why pay more. I just make sure they get my automotive business.

Local gas purchase I seldom buy anything but gas. OTR a quick sugar snack and a cup of coffle. Occasionally I'll pick up a sandwich at the co-located fast food but again only when traveling OTR

I guess I spend more than $50. We buy milk, bread, lotto tickets, coffee, donuts, and other drinks. Even other grocery items so we don't have to run to the store.

On a long trip, I will stop at a gas station because my wife wants a bottle of water or I want to take a break with some coffee. Often the gas station is the handiest place to do this. But for normal pruchases -- why pay those prices?

I love stations that put signs on the pump like "printer broken - please come inside" for months at a time. Just to get you inside the store!
