Shopping With People that NEED To Get Discounts

[Dana]

I'm frugal as Hell but I was out with my cousin today and I found a few sweaters on sale and I was going to pay for them. She HAD to put them on her Kohls card so she could rack up points. Thats great for her but shitty on my end of the deal. Mainly because I'm shit with math and I was trying to figure out wtf I owed her. I'd of rather paid for them myself and not had to deal with it. Oh and she took my stuff out of her bag and jhust threw them in the back of her SUV. Really?

Didn't you get a receipt so you could see what they came to?

 

[Dana]

Yes but I'm a guy.. Enough said...

 

[Dana]

I don't deal with credit cards. Thats all she frigging carries. I'm the type that NEEDS to have cash on him. It's how I keep track of my spending.

Throw a $20 bill in the back of her SUV and call it even

Oh I gave her, what I owed. I'm just a pain in the ass like that though. She had to borrow money from her 9 year old daughter. I just don't find the practicality in carrying nothing but credit/debit on you.

It's normal for most people. Hell I am guilty of only carrying my debit card.. then scrambling to find change for parking etc when the need arises.

If she needed to get a discount enough to snatch shit from you to pay for it, then let her PAY for it and say 'ta hell with it!
You did not ask her to pay for them...

no no, I gave her money I owed her. But she had to ask her daughter for money until she got home to give me the difference that she picked up for me. Get it? I really didn't want her to put it on her Kohls card. I despise credit cards.

I never have cash on me, but I don't use credit cards, only my check card. I earn about $150 per year doing so. I'd be wise to pull some cash out of the ATM just to have on hand, but I always forget.

I usually have a little change in my purse but pay of debit pretty much all the time. I wittle away cash in my purse on sandwiches, bottles of juice...

 

[pinkporridge]

i rarely have cash on me normally cos i dont have any

Your sex has nothing to do with your inability to make basic mathematical calculations.

Don't give those of us who can add and subtract, a bad name, by blaming your short-falls on the fact you're a man.

Sincerely,

The billions of other men in this world who can add and subtract

I use my debit card mostly, it's the same as cash, 'cause if it aint in the bank it aint getting bought

this is true... I suck at math... Unless I have a calculator...

I keep the dough I need to pay rents and bills in the bank and the money I can blow in my wallet. It's easier to balance my budget that way. And whatever money's leftover after rent and bills.... Is just a bonus.

I use a calculator all the time, but that's because I hate math. Not because I'm a man. :tooth

 

[dancingpotato]

I can't do maths to save myself. I failed maths, thus I am reliant on a calculator.

I have a debit card and a credit card. Most stuff gets charged to the credit card and then paid from the debit account because we get reward points for spending money on the credit card. I try to keep around $10 in cash in my wallet just in case I need it, but typically I don't because the machines at school all have card swipey thingies and I know (most of the time) when I'm going to have to head downtown or whatever and will have to pay for parking.
