5 Checkout Questions EVERYONE Says Yes To (A Cheapskate Says No)

If you said yes at the register and thought better of it in the car: www.certifiedcheapskatebook.com The book has a whole section on the register, the Kitchen-to-Checkout Audit for the charges that followed you home, and a NEXT TRIP box at the end of every chapter, so the deciding happens before you're in line. 455 pages, 86 chapters, every store fact sourced. $39 early-bird, 7-day refund. I'm Thad, the certified cheapskate. My wife gave me the title in our first year of marriage. I've been earning it ever since. Everyone thinks turning down a cashier means being rude to a nice person with a line behind you. It doesn't. Every one of those questions is a decision, and you can make it at your own kitchen table before you ever leave the house. I go through the five offers you hear at checkout, from "want to grab another one?" to the store card, the free trial and the protection plan, with what each one is really asking for and the polite sentence that answers it. The fifth is where I found out a cheapskate's answer can be wrong in both directions, and the toaster oven is only half of that story. And to give the store its due: the Target Circle Card's 5% off is a good deal if you pay the balance in full every month, and some protection plans cover what the maker's warranty won't. When you've tried it, leave one word in the comments: saved. And tell me which of these five your store asks you most.
