Where'd the fucking 5 cent piece go?
I just paid our ARC rates early using my credit card online which means we pay $2.85 less than if we pay after August 21.
Now according to my excel spreadsheet of our finances we will have on average 37 cents left a month as opposed to 31 cents left a month on average for discretionary spending. Unfortunately with the abolition of the 5 cent piece we will have to hope and dream of being able to find similar generous early payment schemes elsewhere to get that extra 5 cents we so richly deserve for daring to dream and own our own house in Auckland.
Must admit, I'm quite happy about the pac'n'save petrol stations opening. We buy our groceries from Pac 'n' Save on Lincoln Rd every other week because it's far and away the cheapest supermarket and now we will be able to get 6 cents a litre off our petrol at the same time. That will equate to about 40-60 dollars in savings a year. Nothing to sniff at. Not round these parts anyway.
Fill 'er up Jack!
