I've been in the habit lately of leaving my wallet at home or in the car. Instead, I've been using the snazzy money clip that was one of my groomsman gifts from "David":http://bigbrit.blogspot.com/ and Casey's "wedding":http://www.flickr.com/photos/caseydave/ to hold a few bucks, my driver's license and my one debit card. Unfortunately, this means I usually forget to bring my grocery discount card when I go shopping. When I signed up for the card, I gave a bunch of bogus info. Being a homeowner means that you get plenty of crap mail as it is, and I didn't want to add to that pile. Last week when picking up a couple of things, I was cursing myself for not remembering to bring the card in, when the woman in front of me just gave her phone number because she had forgotten hers, too. Curious, and remembering my lovely step-auntie Margot saying that the stores' databases were so huge that pretty much any phone number would have a hit, I stepped up and typed in my real cell phone number. The cashier finished ringing up my total, handed me my reciept and said "Ok, you saved $2.32 today. Thank you, Mr. um... _Garcia_?" With as Hispanic of a look I could muster on my ultra-whiteboy face I grabbed the reciept and strode off, trailing clouds of glory behind me.
