While fuel prices are still very high in France, several brands are offering commercial operations to relieve consumers’ wallets.
Prices at the pump continue to panic, weighing ever more heavily on the budget of the French, especially those who wish to take advantage of the February holidays.
Where can I find fuel at cost price?
Signs offer commercial operations to allow consumers to reduce expenses when refueling. This is particularly the case of Leclerc, who launched a fuel operation at cost price at the start of the holidays. “Until March 6, 2022, from Friday to Sunday, E.Leclerc sells its fuels at cost price to cope with the unprecedented increase in fuel prices”, indicates the brand’s website.
Selling fuel at cost means that the distributor takes no markup on the price displayed at the pump. The vast majority of Leclerc stores in France are taking part in the operation. The list is available in the following document.
This operation is also set up by the Intermarché brand, over a shorter period of time, fuel is at cost price in most brands of the brand. Be careful, however, this operation, launched this Friday, February 18, ends this Saturday, February 19 in the evening, when the stores close.
Fuel at one euro per liter
At Casino, we prefer to save fuel by reimbursing the difference in vouchers. So this weekend and next weekend, the brand is relaunching its fuel operation at 1 euro per litre. How does this offer work? The consumer will fill up at the brand’s pump and recover the difference between the amount paid and the equivalent of a full one euro per liter in vouchers to spend at Casino.
On the brand’s websitethe operation is detailed as follows: “Refund in the form of a voucher, to be collected at the reception of your store, between Friday 18 and Sunday 20, and valid until Sunday February 20 on the whole store, from 50€ spent“.
