One of our frugal things we did as a family is we got rid of our checking account. The bank was changing thier policies every month. And we were sick and tired of them. Plus they wouldn't deposit my DH paychecks into our account for 3 to 4 days, or cash for 2 to 3 days. For the first time in we were getting bounced checks. $34.00 a check. So now we withdrawal the money and buy money orders for .25.and Hve the peace of mind in knowing that they will not be returned.

This wouldn't have been Wachovia would it? :p In the south they're known as "WalK All Over Ya". I opened an account with them and deposited a check from our insurance company-USAA, a highly respected and well known company--yet Wachovia held it for 11 DAYS! As soon as they depositied it, I went back in and closed the account. We now do all bankin with USAA and a credit union.
