Like the old "give a penny, take a penny" traysI round down a buck or three and tell the server to just chalk it up.
Show here this and what not going to Starbucks two times a week saves. Or enter any amount of money and time frame she wants.I can't stand Starbucks, but my 13 year old daughter thinks they're all the rage. I went by there with her on the way into town one day last month because she wanted to try a latte a friend told her about. A tall iced latte, not a grande, not a venti, the oxymoronic small tall size... $8.75! Then the screen asked if I wanted to leave a tip. lol Pouring salt on the wound, she didn't like it. She took 2 sips of it and didn't touch it again. That's still not the worst part though. She gave it to another friend in her co-op who liked it and drank about half of it before suddenly feeling very nauseous, short of air, and face started swelling. It turns out this girl has an almond allergy and the latte was made with almond milk.
Small local charities are the way to go. We donate to local shelters, food pantries, recreation centers, and afterschool programs. It is way easier to see where your money is going because you can actually see the programs and projects in the community with your own eyes.The rounding up is or charity.
I used to give to these thing regularly, until I found out that normally, less than 5% goes to charity, and the other 95% gpes to the workers of the charity and the CEO, most to the CEO.
