Today brings my first purchase using Josh Perry’s bank card. My daily commute requires about 2 gallons of petrol. I have less than that now remaining in the tank. 2008 Nissan Versa, 31 mpg if you’re curious. I must stop and purchase fuel before I can return home for the evening.
So, the bank swap exercise has truly begun. Sure, I bought sour cream, Velveeta cheese, and Lowenbrau Sunday night, but Josh himself was alongside, aiding in the purchasing decisions. No way i would have bought the Kroger brand velveeta without him. But it’s a good adjustment so far.
My gas purchase, however, offers a much more complex choice. Normally, I’d just fill up at the M station in Catlettsburg out of convenience. But, would Josh rather me stop in Huntington so the city would see some tax revenue? Should i pass up my Speedy reward points if gas is two cents-a-gallon cheaper at the BP? Do I forego my normal orange slushee? Decisions….
Man, I hope i can remember the PIN.

Great post. I loved it. Thanks Tim. You’re a good writer. I’d love it if we posted this kind of thing over the next several days.
I probably would have gone with the cheapest gas wherever I could find it.
However…That’s a great point about the city getting my gas and tax money. Within reason, I’m going to spend money for God’s glory IN HUNTINGTON. This opens up the door for all of my purchasing decisions (groceries, gas, restaurant, etc). Yet another reason to live in Huntington. This won’t be an inconvenience if we live in H town.
The orange slushee is your call. I would love for you to have it! There’s nothing good that I will not provide
