Between what we save at the grocery store (Florence does her own scanning and bagging in reuseable bags), plus coupons, plus food for free useing award points we saved over $1400 last year. Because we put so much on the card they would kiss my rear before anything else.

But Rob, you and we all know you're extraordinary. I just wonder what effect the credit card fees have on retail prices. As long as mafia analogies have bee thrown around here lately, it seem like the credit card companies/banks get a piece of the action on most anything that gets sold. It certainly is more convenient to carry a debit card around than it is to carry a checkbook, but the more we get addicted to convenience, the more the Godfather gets his slice.
