Buying Groceries

06/09/2007 Quick shopping at Publix. Bananas and grapes, some tonic, total $7.88. Paid with dollar coins and exact change. Beth, the cashier, said, "Oh Wow, the new dollar coins. I've not gotten any before."

I like this exact change idea that can be accomplished quickly using dollar coins. With dollar bills first I reached in my pocket for the dollar bills, and then fumbled around for the exact change. But mostly I'd use an extra bill and accept the change. And the change just kept building up at home in jars and paper cups.

Now I'm working off change with every purchase. I'm liking that idea.
