off we go again + a giveaway to help you go too.

(pics from October 2012 in upstate New York)

Soon we’ll be hitting the road for our third the-Grahams-go-camping trip. We started out small (see part one and two here) and no one died so we did it again. The second trip was bigger and better, for multiple nights in a whole different state (see that trip here and here). This time we’re upping the ante by bringing our overly excited dog, Blue, with us. Because we like to make things as difficult as possible. Mostly because it makes for the best stories.

And as we prepare for our next trip, I’ve been working on our packing list and meal plans. I’m a list lover (not to be confused with a land lover, aye) and nothing gets me more pumped than a good packing list and meal plan. Planning a trip is the bee’s knees. And while the extra expense isn’t something to get super-excited about, Kroger is helping lessen the blow with their awesome 2x Fuel Points Weekends. So as long as I shop Friday through Sunday at Kroger, I’ll earn double fuel points while I pick up our camping necessities (hello s’mores, hot dogs, and sunscreen) and then I can use those fuel points to earn up to $1 off per gallon of gas at a Kroger Fuel Station. So every $1 spent on qualifying items becomes two fuel points instead of one. Which will get us to the campsite with more money in our pockets. Which makes me one happy camper (oooh, see what I did there??).

If there’s a Kroger in your neighborhood, all you need to do is download the digital coupon to your Kroger card once and it will work all weekend, every weekend until June 30th. The days are heating up which gets me in the mood for an adventure—and with Kroger, that adventure is easier to tackle. They’ve got everything you need for a great road trip, day at the park, or flight across the country. And earning double fuel points while buying those must haves is a no-brainer.

And to help get you ready for your big adventure, Kroger is giving away one $100 gift card to a lucky Trusty Chucks reader. All you have to do is tell me where you’re planning on going this summer or where you’d like to go if you can’t get away right now. Enter using Rafflecopter below and good luck!.

    We don’t have plans this year. We are saving for a house and we just had little Ronan. BUT, if I could get away I would go see some mountains. I don’t care where they are as long as I could see them. I miss mountain air!

    How wonderful would this be!? We do all of our grocery shopping at Kroger, and since we are trying to eat healthier/cleaner..the grocery bills are starting to add up!

    I’m dreaming of a beach vacation–while my husband is dreaming of another trip to Disney World. Fingers crossed we’ll both get our wishes this year!
