I had propane 28 years and knows how to get the best deals on propane gas.
Did you know that you are getting a better price if you own your own propane tank? If you want to save money, buy your own propane tank. We have a 500 gallon tank that we bought for $ 250. It is unusual. They usually cost much more. There are some places to look for a propane tank. Craigslist is a great place to try. Then try to use the radio. Many local stations have a counter or a country store, you can buy sell or exchange your property. You can find one in your local newspaper, and you can not get the newspaper delivered, but the search on the name of the paper on your computer and look under the classified section.
If you rent a tank called the company and ask them if they want to sell it to you. Do not buy unless it is reasonable. The only way to know if the propane tank is reasonable to do some shopping first. Call the various businesses of propane around and see what kind of contract you can get. If you find a good deal, wonder how it would be to have it delivered. If you buy a tank, many times the local gas company to install it and check it for free. They want your business. You must have a professional install and verify the security lines. It's not like there is usually something wrong with it, just be sure.
When you get your fuel around for the best deals on gas. Get a good deal and see if one of the propane companies will beat the price. I bet they will.
Although you should consider spending the tank, will not be long before you start saving money. Way to get more is by calling around and compare prices. When you rent a tank, you must pay the amount to the owner of the tank. You can not buy gas, which is much less. When you shop around, you'll be surprised how much propane varies from place to place. Believe it or not, some companies will win competitors 'prices'. Many times I have saved over.40 gallon. Take.40x400 gallon. This is a savings of $ 160.00 with the filling.
Spend time on the phone shop around for a bargain and you will save money in the long run .... I bet before long all of your purchases will be well worth your time.
Thrifty Living is a lifestyle. It takes time and effort, but you will save over the long term. It becomes easier and satisfying that you shop around and see your money stretch.
