Pay Cash

As a newlywed you are always looking for ways to save money. Whether you collect grocery store coupons or shop at the discount stores.

There is another way you may save money I call it the old-fashioned way pay cash now isn't that a unique idea. Many small businesses such as the mom-and-pop store on the corner would rather you pay cash then use a credit card. Why you might ask? Credit card companies charge businesses a certain percentage for the use of their card. Instead of paying this percentage the business would rather give the customer a small discount for paying cash. I have often been this scenario play out in gas stations where they have one price for credit card users and one for cash customers. Some businesses will even take checks if you have the proper identification this is still considered cash. Sometimes it is a hassle to show your ID but in most cases is well worth it. So remember when shopping for bargains and discounts cash is king.
