Off to the dentist soon for my biannual clean. I should probably look for a closer dentist than Bacchus Marsh but I do enjoy a drive so c'est la vie.
Meanwhile, blending meal replacement shakes with a bit of ice is a revelation. I've ordered some recommended ones online but to fill the gap until they get here I got some vanilla manshake and a tin of milo from the shops last night because it's a great mix.
I decided to look at the 7-Eleven app as it keeps getting recommended. There does not seem to be any option to actual create an account. The closest I can find is to sign up for their rewards program, which starts with requiring a phone number and tells me that my phone number is invalid. Also looking at the fine print they now limit the amount you can save by locking the fuel price to 25c, which considering it often jumps 40c or more when it goes up these days is not quite the "price lock" I imagined.
Edit: solved the issue with signing up - some weird glitch on the tablet that if the app is in landscape mode it doesn't show the option to register. It is there on the phone and when I resize the window on the tablet it magically appeared there too!
2nd Edit: solved except it is supposed to send a code to my email address and it has not come through.
Petrol Spy shows the prices all over Melbourne. Sometimes prices vary wildly even in the same suburb.
Yeah, I use that and it's really good. It also shows you a graph of average prices, it's interesting to look at the different patterns in different capital cities.
I have found there are a few places that seem to go up first, then the rest follow over a week or so. So far there have not been any going up again, so I should be good for at least a few days.
If you're clever enough to fake your gps and careful with making sure your app is closed before setting up the gps you can put yourself close to a cheaper 7-11, lock in the price, close the 7-11 app then reset your gps and don't open the app again for awhile so they don't detect you zooming around unrealistically.
