ayup that is what this one place did, paying 1.05 for a few weeks until he built up the customer base, then started cutting it back. now at 55

Awesome article about one very frugal and fiscally responsible man. I wish all govt. employees would learn from him.

Amen. Especially the incoming administration apparently ready to run up the deficit. Infrastructure spending is an excellent focus, just do it with money we have, not "printed" and borrowed.

Here in NYC it's 5 cents a can. But I always find it a hassle to collect the cans and redeem them. I think the most i've made was $5.
