I've been known to buy a cup of ice since the grocery store deli just
started charging for it. $.10 with $50 back.

I don't do gum either. Gimme a Heath Bar or Milk Way Caramel.

Thank you. She just like to disagree with me no matter what I say or
how stupid she looks. Thank you for being an unbaised party and
setting her straight.

I have a CVS loyalty card, all it has is, MR DAN, no address, no real name,
no nothing else. Just say "do you mean I have to give up my personal right
to privacy to get the deals.". They gave me one, just like Krogers and and
other stores. What you will not get is check cashing, but who uses those
anymore. They will on occasion ask for an email address, but do not do it.
A charge card may also link up the card as well so I do not do that either.

I only shop at stores that do not require a loyalty card. For very
good reasons, too. And many stores than not realize that people do
not shop at loyalty card stores. Especially at drug stores, where
pharmacy and loyalty card purchase records have sold for as high as
$15 million dollars (Winn-Dixie's).

Easter is approaching and this is the still the first quarter of the
year,
so here's my first quarter reminder It only costs a few cents on the
dollar to add a couple of extra cans of veggies, There is no way to
justify by price, one either
wants to give to a food bank or they don't. "pennies on the dollar"
compared to my take home pay or
savings account. That term is usually reserved for how much you're
*saving* when comparing it to it's worth or original cost.

My oldest son does that. We were traveling out of the country and he
only had $50 on him. He said he would just stop at ATM's like he does
at home. Kids, I don't understand them.

He may have got a better deal on exchange rates than you did. I have
travelled in the past with travellers cheques and paid premium exchange
rates, sometimes paid fees to cash them, had a lot of hassles cashing
them. Buying foreign currency through a bank or exchange kiosk usually
involves premium exchange rates. When you use an ATM you usually get a
much better exchange rate. When you use them at bank ATMS they charge a
couple bucks access fee each time, but since you are getting a much
better exchange rate you usually come out ahead. The trick is to
withdraw in larger amounts so that you pay the fee less often.


I usually carry enough of the local currency to get me through my fisrt
day and then count on a bank machine. I messed up once in Germany. I had
used up my German money on the ferry from Denmark. We arrived at the
hotel mid evening, had dinner and went to bed. I went out early in the
morning to find the bank. My card didn't work. I tried several times,
and tried three different machines in the bank. Then went to another
bank,I was about to give up and try to get a withdrawal at the counter
when I realized I had been using the wrong card. I had been inserting my
air miles card.
