As Ben pointed out,  you should be more careful with your
 copy/paste,  and especially with your indentation.  I'll assume
 these are all methods of a single class SaleNote,  and that none
 are nested.  If that's the case,  your problem is most likely
 that the second definition of save hides the first.

Right,  it returns amount.  If it gets called,  which it doesn't
 from your code here. And it doesn't save that value, it only gets
 saved by the dead code below in the first save method.

To make the rest of the code more readable,  consider using else
 clauses on every if, so that you can more readily spot missing
 cases. Turns out that wasn't your problem,  but it costs every
 reader of your code the time to decide that. 

Personally,  I'd be using the max function,  which would simplify
 the first function to one line.
