Shopping for a new wallet...

[iamajai]

What do you guys with the slim or no wallets do for loose change? I've always had a wallet with a change pocket.

Mine was gifted to me, but you're my accountant, so I'm sure you already figured that one out They really are incredible though.

Into the truck ashtray or into the kid's piggy bank when I get home. Change is the #1 reason why I rarely use cash. The Visa does everything. Even a slurpee or a pack of gum.

Change pocket? Every pair of pants come with at least 2 for free.

I let it accumulate in my pocket until it's big enough to swing around and hit me in the crotch. Then I drop to my knees and puke on the floor.

Seriously though, I have a jar at home that my kid steals out of whenever she doesnt have money for lunch.

Yah I have a bin at home I throw it in.

But as stated earlier I pay for everything almost exclusively on the visa.

You buy a pack of gum on Visa? Isn't there a crazy service charge for that?

I always feel bad when I have no cash and just need a coffee, so I end up buying at least $10 worth of crap.

You should probably look into how a credit card works.

IDGAF. Not my problem. I do know in the States it's pretty common to charge a quarter or something if you only buy a bag of ice. They don't do it here, and I take full advantage.

It's essentially 2 credit card sized pieces of polycarbonate/aluminum/whatever held together by two stretchy straps. It's rfid proof and has an extra loop for cash/receipts


Edit: my sarcasm meter is broken as I'm viewing on Tapatalk and the Lucie looked normal sized

It's probably safe to look at wallets like you do at shoes.

... however, I just use a 3 card holder now because I want the thinness

Their prices keep creeping, and they keep adding new high-end leathers, but use these two guys - the dogleg when I am wearing a suit, and the bi-fold when I am wearing jeans.

They are beautiful, and are nigh indestructible. My card-holder has help up for around 8 years, and looks excellent. The bi-fold for around 5.

Bonus: I don't look like a child when I bring out whatever weird velcro or multi-tool wallet some of you guys are holding.

My wife and I utilize the grandma method of saving, and just add our loose change to a jar until we can afford to go get drunk on what is in there.

Change can barely buy anything anymore. It's just deadweight in wallets or pockets. Whenever I get change, I take it home and put it into a change sorter and when I have enough, I spend it all at thrift shops or throw them into the change slot of self-checkout tills during quiet times (so a cashier doesn't have to deal with counting).

Pennies (gone), nickels and dimes were often given away/donated. Quarters, loonies and toonies into the car and used at wand wash. Or I use it immediately to purchase a coffee or something so I'm just rid of it.

I bet my daughter has enough money to get me blackout drunk with all the toonies and loonies I've dropped in her piggy bank.

I'm the same way. I literally buy everything on a credit card even if it's a $1.50 drink from Timmies.

It may be only a few cents rewards but it adds up and it's free money so why not? Also helps you track your spending a lot better.

The only places I see those small credit card fees are Chinese restaurants.

A true father leads by example.
