Sadly true, but a way to be ready for next year's sale...

Just reminded myself (it takes a while for an old boozed out brain sometimes) of another way to save change that I also practice, and a lot of you probably already do.

I'm not much on subtraction so to simplify things in my checkbook I always round up. So while I'll enter the exact amount for a check, or debit card, of say, $27.38 when I subtract it from my balance I'll subtract $28.00

Over time I get way ahead of myself with subtraction and find I have "free" money available.

So, saving the actual change every day, and creating extra change through check book subtraction would make the process go twice as fast.

For me, I don't miss the saved change in day-to-day living and the accumulated change and extra checkbook pading can be converted into another kilt, or sporran, or kilt hose, et.al.
