Are you wasting ink?
I noticed a few years ago that when writing a check there is no need to write out the word "Dollars" when writing out the amount. It's already printed on the check. Say you have a bill to pay in the amount of $65.98. All you have to write is Sixty-five and 98/100. If you write "dollars" it will end up saying Sixty-five Dollars and 98/100 dollars. What a redundant waste of ink.

I foreswore that unthinking waste of ink many years ago. I have no idea how many little ink refills have been saved by my frugality, but it must be at least one...or possibly two.
ReplyDeleteThe way I figure it, about six checks of ink conservation gives you an extra check's worth of ink. That could be pretty substantial over a 10 year period.
