dude when i pay with my credit card at the pump (im in CA) it charges me a prepayment fee of 200 bucks or sometimes 100 bucks to see if my card has enough credit to fulfill a tank of gas. i don't know how this visa gift card scheme will override this

Got that SUPER gas. Cure all your car's problems with one tank.

been going to the barbershop for over 2 years... found out they were increasing their cuts to 30 up from 25... I was like ok this is the last time I am coming here... then went to great clips a few times which is not great but for 18 bucks why not... then found a salon that charges 15 for a cut...so been going there for a few months... they just upped their prices to 20... so now I am switching to there other location which is 15... it sucks cuz I like how the girl cuts my hair...but I rather save money instead of being loyal...

you go boy
is not fully committed to the frugal life. if he were really a cheap degenerate like most of us, he'd look like this
or he'd be using a pre-paid gift card with $5 to scam his way into $30 haircuts

It's the same here - it used to authorise £99 but with the recent price increases it's changed to £120, but then you only pay what you put in. Recently I tried to get some gas the day before I got paid - thought I would just put 20 in to keep me going and I had more than that in my account - but it wouldn't take my card because it wanted to authorise 120 which I didn't have - ended up having to go somewhere else with less intelligent pumps.

similar situation (minus the great clips trips). My long time barber priced me out. He started to charge $60 a cut, and $55 for a line up. This was back in 2019. Present day he now charges $75 for a cut, $87 for a cut with shave, and if he has never cut you before its $95 for the first cut. I couldnt fit that into my budget on top of me moving further north, it would be a 45 minute drive just to get there, and Im already paying $145 for a retwist. Since I got locks all I need is a lineup so did some lookin round and found this butch chick 5 mins up the steet that does it for the $15. She aight with the clippers...nothin to brag about fr, some days are better than others but for $15 Ive been consistently comin back. Beats paying $55 for a lineup...She did push my lining back last time so she is temporarily fired and Ima try this new spot 2 mins from the crib....He charges $38
plus I found a new chick for the retwist and she charges $80, I see her this week too so Ima see how it goes. Hopefully they decent and I'll be going from paying $200 to $120 for my hair services..

So I just got a car wash Sunday at a spot I've gone to a couple times now. I thought the bill came out to $23 and some change if I remember correctly and I used tap to pay on the machine but the guy then faces it to himself and presses some buttons. I thought nothing of it but just checked my credit card statement and it shows as $28.49. Now I'm wondering if he added on a tip or I'm just not remembering the price. I didnt get a receipt

Might as well buy a subscription to those car wash spots. I can't in Good faith pay for a single wash anymore.

I would but the ones around me do not offer that.
I would get one up in Goshen, NY since I have a second place up there at the town car wash but the car comes out looking like **** all the time, I am done with them. lol

Absolutely not.
There is simply no way.
I've been cut by scantily clad women and didn't pay $100 for that.
