If you’re wife is really worried about $100/year, give up your first 2 weeks of Starbucks each year in trade.
My wife does very well in managing our sparse resources (in spite of the efforts of the government and the Jesuits) and (I suspect) would not patronize a Starbucks on an errand for a dying parishioner.
There are two (at least) things I do not understand about this business (probably why I failed at it). Why do people buy "services" from people who charge extra to annoy their customers, and why do providers work so hard to be annoying when providing better service would actually be cheaper and less work?
