I live in western NC. I just paid the property taxes on my new car this morning by debit card because I kept forgetting to send a check. I was charged a $3 transaction fee and a $5.43 card processing fee. A check would not have had any extra fees.
Well, it is just my son, my elderly brother, the dog and me. That’s all that is left of my family. My brother and I neither need nor want anything. The money to my son is just a token gift. Christmas is simply another day for us, just like Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. I’ll fix a couple of special dishes for dinner but nothing elaborate. That’s the way we like it. No hassle, no stress, just quiet.
You could use Pharmstore.com, a Canadian pharmacy service. My brother gets one of his meds from them. Locally or through his insurance, the med would cost about $2K. Through this service, $113. Same med, same amount, grossly different prices.
I do too. Although, that little yellow flag was difficult to see from the house so my son made a flag from a bright red lid and attached that to the flag arm. Now there’s no question about whether the mail has come or not.
That’s only about 75 cents now. That sure beats $8.43 extra all because I forgot to snail mail it in time.
