No, if something costs $29.98 it costs $29.98 or $29 and change. Do you round up when paying?

Asking for precision from others when you aren't willing to be precise yourself is well...

totally agree
but when you hear that you are not buying but "picking up" that makes sense right?

Lol, don't forget the comment, "We're giving you....." No, you're not giving me anything if I'm paying for it. I have to laugh when they say something that is $29.98 is under $30. It's $30. Actually, I add in the shipping into the cost too, so more like $35. Then there's the easy pay. That same item will be on 3 easy pays and they'll keep saying you can get it for $10. I can probably go to the mall and get something similar for a good price, add in a sale price, use a coupon and save on shipping.

I live within walking distance of 4 grocery stores and a short drive to 2 others. Like a good neighbor, I patronize all of them for different items and often several times a week. When paying, several of them ask if I want to round up to the nearest dollàr (for charity) which I do. They are not doing this because of the coin shortage, because I always pay with a credit card.

So I guess I do round up a lot.

When something costs $29.98, it costs $29.98.

It doesn't cost $29 or $30.

A thread titled "money" is always going to get my attention.

Thanks for the reminder for those that didn't know.

We can't talk about politics, we can't talk about religion, and I don't think sex is going to fly either. So I don't want to sound ungrateful, but when I open a thread titled "money" I expect more than a beef over two cents.
