Interest on checking account. [View all]

About nothing? I put my part time job check in a small account to pay most of my bills. Keep less than a grand or two in it and get about 3 cents a month interest on it.

So, now I go inside to make the deposit and grab a couple of their free ink pens every time. I have a friend with a business that hands out the same pens. Cost him 40 cents each. I'm getting about 3 bucks a month in pens. Never buy any and pass some out to friends.

I'm on a fat free, sugar free diet. So, I can also grab a free sucker, because it's free.
