I hate to be a pain, but there are a lot of mistakes in the subtraction in the last 3 pages I examined here. I did not go back further than page 88.

26,156.50 ->26,155.00->26,153.00 (mistake)->26,152.00 ->26,151.00-> 26,150.50-> 26,250.00-> 26,140.00 (mistake, roll= $10 not $30)-> 26,139.50->26,139.00 (mistake, it had increased to 26,199.50) -> 26,138.00

I'm not going back further, but given the number of mistakes on the last 3 pages, I would suggest a review of the entire thread is needed for accuracy.

We should be at 26,138.00 based on the last 3 pages- closer to the goal!

Ugh, yes, I checked it and you are correct. Mostly. I usually do a better job at catching the errors and making edits as I see them.

26,140.00 (mistake, roll= $10 not $30)
There were three rolls spent.
Quote:
My wife spent 1 Roll at the CO-OP and 2 Rolls at Kroger today.


I do not have the time to audit all 90 pages, but anyone who wants to give it a shot, feel free to take on the task.

Until then, the remaining spend is hereby set at:

$26,118.00

Thanks jbuck. I missed that 1 roll vs 3 rolls too. Goes to show we are all human and make mistakes and need pencils on erasers!

I tried to use one at Circle K to pay for my frozen Coke (74 cents for 42 oz. quite the deal!) at the self checkout I tried to put a half dollar in the machine. It doesn't accept them! They don't even fit in there, the hole is too small! What an outrage! The clerk gave me two quarters to use instead so I guess I did put it back into circulation.

You made the honest effort and the clerk took it, it counts.

Many years ago I put some half dollars in the self checkout at Kroger when self checkout was a new thing. The machine "accepted" them but they had to call maintenance to disassemble the machine to complete the transaction. Took and extra half hour or so to get checked out.
