Tip of The Day: Get Cash From The Supermarket

by James & Miel on February 20, 2009 · 0 comments

Hi All,

You’ve probably noticed that banks are charging an arm and a leg for ATM withdrawals, sometimes as much as three dollars to take out only $20.

Here is today’s tip. If you need to make a modest withdrawal go to a drug store or supermarket instead to a bank. You’ll need to buy something from the store before they give you cash back, so get a small pack of gum or candy. Then, ask for some cash back from the register. Its far cheaper than the ATM and you get to eat the candy!

Best,

James
