The grocery store is no longer just a place just for your milk and eggs. Get even more with big savings and rewards from Tom Thumb and Albertsons – especially with the gas rewards program. 

This is sponsored by Tom Thumb and Albertsons. 

Once upon a time (like just a few years ago), you went to the grocery store, grabbed a cart, put in items you needed for your family, checked out and went home.

Savings with Tom Thumb and Albertsons


That was it.

Now, not only do we have the option to pick up our groceries, but also our medications, hand-rolled sushi, a flower bouquet, your kid’s birthday cake, a hot dinner, and even a cup of coffee.

And that’s just the beginning.

Savings with Tom Thumb and Albertsons

Actually, the start of it, is the Tom Thumb app and Albertsons Just for U® app on your smartphone that not only helps you locate what’s on sale and where it is at, but also all the special promotions to get things for free. (Score.)

On your purchases you can save money with in-store coupons, manufacturer coupons, as well as on the spot coupons that you didn’t plan for, but even more coupons at the register just to acknowledge that you are a valuable customer to Tom Thumb / Albertsons. (Touchdown!)

Wear a Dallas Cowboys shirt on game day and you get 10% off your groceries. (Score again.)

Don’t have the time to do the grocery shopping? Tom Thumb launched its Grocery Delivery service in the area so you can order what you need, when you need it, someone delivers it straight to your door AND YOU STILL GET YOUR REWARD POINTS, special coupons, and offers like you do when you’re in-store. Additionally, Albertsons is partnering with Tom Thumb to offer this service via Albertsons.com as well.

To celebrate the launch and provide customers with additional savings, shoppers placing Tom Thumb grocery delivery orders by December 4 will receive $10 off their first order in addition to FREE delivery by entering the promo code TOM at online checkout. Tom Thumb’s Grocery Delivery service offers one-hour delivery windows and a Shop By History feature that saves all previously purchased items for easy repeat purchasing. (Imagine the sounds of the crowds going wild!)

Savings with Tom Thumb and Albertsons

However, even beyond the grocery shopping experience – in-store or at home – that shows that Tom Thumb / Albertsons really wants to show you what being a MVP really means with a new player in the saving money game – Chevron!

For Tom Thumb customers, the Gas Rewards Program already gives you $.10 cents off your gas at the Tom Thumb gas station every time you spend $100 (up to $1.00 off each month up to 20 gallons?)

Savings with Tom Thumb and Albertsons

Don’t think a dime makes a difference? You’ll be surprised that the points really add up fast and the cost of filling up that mom-mobile is so much easier when it’s a whole dollar off! Just take a look at your Tom Thumb fuel station and you’ll see the line – because it does pay to save!

Now you can do your own little happy dance because you don’t have to wait until the very last minute to fill up your tank because you haven’t had a chance to get to your Tom Thumb gas station…you now have more convenient locations to redeem those Reward points by using them at participating Chevron and Texaco locations!

Big Savings with Tom Thumb and Albertsons

Tom Thumb and Albertsons shoppers can redeem up to $.20 per gallon in Gas Rewards at participating Chevron and Texaco Stations and up to $1.00 per gallon in Gas Rewards at Tom Thumb and Albertsons gas stations.

Not a Tom Thumb or Albertsons shopper?

That’s crazy!

You’re missing out. Just go back to the top and read this again so you know what you’re missing! Then either download the Tom Thumb app or for Albertsons customers can access the just for U app from (available on iOS and Android) and let the good times roll.

Saving money doesn’t have to be a game – it’s easy for everyone to score big at Tom Thumb or Albertsons – especially with a $50 gift card to pay for your gas and check out what you’ve been missing at your local Tom Thumb or Albertsons store.

    I love Tom Thumb because it is easy to get to from my house, the reward savings are great, you earn gas discounts, and the store is always clean.

    Alberton’s is wonderful too! I don’t get the luxury of shopping there as much anymore since it is very far from me, however the food was always fresh and the produce was great.

🚨 ACT NOW: Keep Public $$$ in Public Schools! 🚨

Click Here (takes less than one minute): 
https://www.txpta.org/take-action

Tomorrow, March 11, the Texas House Committee on Public Education will hear HB 3. Let’s make it clear: Public money demands public accountability!

Texans have rejected vouchers since 1957—yet lawmakers are once again pushing them through with SB 2 and HB 3.

💰 Vouchers drain public school resources.
📉 They don’t improve student achievement.
❌ They aren’t about "parent choice"—private schools choose their students.
🏫 Texas parents already have school choice.

Governor Abbott is making vouchers a priority, but Texans are pushing back. Lawmakers are feeling the heat from voters who refuse to let public schools be undermined.

📲 Take 1 minute to make your voice heard NOW!

📷Jackson and Taylor are 2 of the 5.5 million reasons why Texas must keep public dollars in public schools. I was a product of public schools and had an amazing experience in a rural community with some of the best teachers. Change needs to happen, but taking away resources like these from schools is not especially when they ste already underfunded and our teachers’ morale is at an all time low. Communities work better together not when you separate them further apart.

WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS - Dallas Zoo WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS - Dallas Zoo Lights

🌲 Dallas Zoo
🗓️ Now - January 4 

Wonder what the @dallaszoo is like after dark? Once Upon a Wild Light comes alive with more than two million lights, 5:30 pm - 9 pm each night through January (so you can do this one with your family during the holiday break!) 

While many of the animals sleep, DinoLumia and DinoVision: a Jurassic adventure comes out to play, along with tons of holiday light photo opps and winter fun experiences. Enjoy catching up through self-guided, self-paced walk-through and spend time together while taking photos, which is ideal if you don’t like the holiday overload! And don’t sleep on Santa here, as he has a certain twinkle in his eye the kids always seem to like to catch up with (mom was even able to get a shot.) 

And for the even bigger kids over 21, Dallas Zoo: After Dark, goes wild on Thursday, Dec. 12, 6-9 PM with eats, treats and holiday drinks,live music, and games and other ways to get you in the holiday spirit!

WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS // Classic Ch WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS // Classic Christmas 

🌲 Coca Cola Classic Christmas - Choctaw Stadium in Arlington  
🗓️ Now through Dec. 29

Growing up @cocacola made the holidays magic, so when Coca Cola Classic rolled down the road, we had to go peek! Partnering with @enchantchristmas, the experience is part lights, part photo opps and for my kids mostly FOOD and overall a lot of fun - all washed down with (of course, a Coca Cola!) 

What was also great was a little walk through memory lane with Coke Christmas moments throughout the years - cue the polar bears and 18 wheeler!

Experience: 
🎅Market Square (definitely hit up the t-shirts - reading each one is half the fun)
🎅 Snow Tubing (always our favorite)Ice Skating (truth: we don’t skate, but it’s perfect people watching) 
🎅 Interactive Light up Dance Floor
🎅 @cinemark Theatre with holiday movies 
🎅 Coca-Cola Lounge - 21+ Cocktail experience (looked great to go with the girls)
🎅 Santa Landing

And of course, the Eatery! Eyes (and mouths) got big here with featured food from State Fair of Tex winners like The Drowning Tacos (SO GOOD we then ordered the Birria Tacos, too all cooked onsite and with all the sauce!) 

It’s the real thing!

WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS // Prairie Li WHERE TO CHRISTMAS IN DFW WITH TEENS // Prairie Lights

🎄 Prairie Lights, Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie 
🗓️ Now through Dec. 31 (NYE) at 6 pm 

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without @prairielights- with a packed car with blankets, Santa hats, hot cocoa and coffee, and blasting holiday music while we sing them even louder.  

A stunning two-mile drive through light park complete with a midway stop - The Holiday Village with carnival rides, amazing bites (corndogs, funnel cakes and more, oh my!) And this year we were surprised with a new light tunnel, reimagined walk-through forest and new displays, great photo opps, gifts, visit with Santa, a lighted strollable forest.  It’s perfectly timed for food, fun and a little time on foot! 

PRO TIP: Go early, get tickets in advance and spring for the fast pass on the weekends and prime holiday times. And enjoy it and don’t try to rush it - enjoy it! That includes entry and the experience (so bathroom before you go, but thankfully there’s one at The Holiday Village and you get the corn dog.)

Named after Bangkok’s legendary road of entertainment of all kinds (Sukhumvit Soi 11), it seems fitting this newly imagined destination would find its home in Arlington’s Entertainment District. Anchoring the NEW @loewsarlington, @soycowboytx (also from @bbbutchers / @berghospitality) recently swung open the curtain this summer with an opening that made heads turn at every corner of this 12,000 sq. ft. of sexy space - with 3 unique bars, patio, viewable kitchen and dining room. 

To call it a “Pan Asian restaurant” doesn’t do it justice with its rich menu of fresh sushi, dim sum, caviar, truffle, lobster, waygu (all things you don’t find in the home of the margarita machine and ballpark nachos.) And if you’re looking for entertainment, just take a peek into the expansive kitchen and watch your rolls or omakase be made. The cocktail menu is just as extravagant with everything from mezcal to Japanese whisky, you’re eyes will be just as happy as your lips upon your first sip. 

While we experienced live music, fashion show and more as part of the opening, the cool smoke installation and the people-watching is definitely just part of the menu at Soy Cowboy you’ll have to explore. 

Food Nerd Note: SoyCowboy is on the upcoming @dfwrestaurantweek menu for just $39, so it’s a steal to take your own trip on a budget. (Make your reservation.)

Normally we’re always behind the smartphone camera, today we stepped out in front of the TV screen! The lovely folks at the new morning show Morning on Merit Street @morningonmeritstreet invited DFN for a little “roundtable” discussion about dining trends with our own Food Nerd @autumnreo / @mamachallenge and Bill Trevino of @craftandvinerestaurant CraftandVine along with hosts @dominiquesachse and @fanchonstinger for a little dishin’ on dining!

(If you’re able to take a look online, keep watching to see our new friend Pearl 🐶 and friends from @sweetpearlsicecream share their incredibly sweet story with @hungreehannah!) 

✔️ And just like we shared on the show, we want to know what you think! What do you think about Table Limits on reservations? Yes restaurants should have them or no way?
