The treat tester will be picked by Sept. 18 and will be contacted via email. From there, the snacker will have two weeks to try every item from a grocery list put together by FinanceBuzz. You must be 18 or older to participate.
In the announcement, FinanceBuzz noted that opportunity was created as a way to "help people save and spend their money wisely" by listing the top-tier snacks worth purchasing. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Buc-ee's.
For those uninitiated in the Buc-ee's craze, it's a gas station chain with massive stores, where you can purchase a wide variety of snacks while also having your pick of an eclectic mix of attire featuring its mascot, an adorable beaver named Bucky.
Its first location opened in Clute, Texas in 1982, and has since expanded to various states, including Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. There are also new locations opening soon in Louisiana, Alabama, Colorado, Mississippi, and Missouri.
