Plus, Cash is King in this economy, and if you have cash, you can haggle, which is better than a “10% off my next ‘full priced’ purchase”!

As a country it seems we’ve forgotten how to haggle, and Google Wallet makes sure that the only haggling that occurs is similar to what WalMart does-  haggle with the suppliers.  Good luck getting $100.00 worth of product at WalMart when you have a $90 in credit across 4 gift cards!  But if you have $90 in cash, well, you may be able to buy that thing you want, especially on Craigslist!

Besides, what can you buy for $2.00 at Jamba Juice? (in the picture)  Maybe I could purchase that discounted coupon item, if I had another $1 in my real wallet to cover tax.
