In my quest to save money, that has been the biggest thing I've learned too. A year ago when I walked into the grocery store, I assumed it was always cheaper to buy my precious lifeblood, Diet Coke, in bulk at Costco. One of my very first lessons in saving learned was that, in general, the Costco (and all warehouse stores) prices are decent, but can always be beat at the regular store using coupons + sales. Now I just know that under about $2.75/12 pack of DC is decent, under $2.25 is great, but it gets as cheap as $1.82. At Costco it will be the equivalent of $3.50 and not on sale at the grocery store it gets as high as $4.99. That information is the power.Elizabethhttp://www.elizabethnewlin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546721210544572992.post-43406178751913243622010-08-28T18:58:32.972-07:002010-08-28T18:58:32.972-07:00$1.06?

Plus, if it's not on time, the bank takes responsibility and it doesn't cost you anything or count on your credit score. That has only happened once in 5 years and we pay lots of bills on line each month.Alexishttp://mominmanagement.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546721210544572992.post-48095307717816364162010-08-25T04:59:31.903-07:002010-08-25T04:59:31.903-07:00Thanks, Bob! I couldn't agree more. I'm ...Thanks, Bob! I couldn't agree more. I'm just waiting for the day when it's not as free as it is now... Maybe they let you make 1-2 free payments a month but anymore than that they charge. Remember the days when you had to wait for the paper statement in the mail to let you know how much you owed? I cringe when I think about it now! <br /><br />Thanks again.

It is one of the very few things many banks aren't charging extra for...yet.<br /><br />Besides the hassle factor of the US Mail, it costs money!Bob Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843991725692979189noreply@blogger.com
