What Roche Bros offers and how to pay

Roche Bros is a regional supermarket chain operating in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Like most supermarkets, it accepts standard payment methods at checkout — debit cards, credit cards, cash, and mobile payment apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Some locations may also accept checks, though this varies by store.

The main financial tool Roche Bros offers its regular shoppers is the Roche Bros Rewards program, a free membership that tracks your purchases and gives you discounts on select items. You do not need a rewards membership to shop there, but joining one means you can save money on groceries over time through personalized offers and fuel rewards.

Roche Bros does not operate its own credit card or financing program. You pay with whatever card or cash you bring. The rewards program itself is free to join and costs nothing to use.

Using your rewards card at checkout

When you are ready to pay, tell the cashier you want to use your Roche Bros Rewards. If you have a physical card, hand it to the cashier or scan it yourself at the register. If you do not have a card, give the cashier your phone number and they will look up your account.

The register will show which items in your purchase may have access to for Rewards discounts. These are typically marked with a special logo in the store and on your receipt. You do not have to do anything extra — the discount applies automatically when your rewards account is linked to the transaction.

Your receipt will show how many fuel points you earned. These accumulate in your account and can be used at participating fuel stations to reduce the price per gallon. The amount you save per gallon depends on how many points you have and the current promotion.

Understanding fuel rewards

As you shop at Roche Bros, you earn fuel points with every purchase. The more you spend, the more points you accumulate. Roche Bros partners with fuel stations — typically Shell or other regional chains — where you can redeem these points for a discount on gasoline.

The discount per gallon varies depending on how many points you have saved up. For example, you might earn enough points to get 10 cents off per gallon after spending a certain amount, or 20 cents off if you have accumulated more points. Check your Roche Bros account online or on your receipt to see your current fuel points balance.

Fuel rewards do expire, so check your account periodically to see when your points are set to expire. Using them before they expire ensures you do not lose the discount.
