At the moment, between gas, tires, and other purchases at BJs, our
membership there is certainly covered by the savings...  They've started
offering a credit card (Mastercard, IIRC), with similar perks, but I
don't know if it's free... haven't pursued it, since we have plenty of
cards already, with my Discover card giving 2% on gas and restaurants...

Understandable...  :)   The Henrietta gas stations tend to run much less
than most other localities, so we use the Henrietta BJs for our gas... I
think TOPS is doing a similar promotion for their gas, but as we rarely
shop TOPS (and I think their base price is higher than BJs by a
significant amount), I don't think that it would do us much good. 
Wegmans doesn't do that sort of promotion, which is probably just as
well... ;)

 DS> Title: HOT SPICED CHICKEN

Looked promising to me...  I doubt I'd bother with two woks (or
skillets) either... not sure whether it's intended to keep the fat level
down, or if it was originally intended to let one start the sauce going
while the chicken pieces were cooking in the first pan...  :)
