Bank of Wal-Mart

Still no stimulus check yet.

I'm checking my online bank account every few hours. Two straight days of this behavior. Oh Economic Stimulus Package ... come out, come out wherever you are!

I filed my taxes early and opted for direct deposit of my tax rebate. So all systems are a go for the IRS to drop that bonus $600 rebate on me any second now. Seriously, paper checks go out May 9. Am I really going to have to wait until May 8? Have I mentioned I'm impatient?

And while I wait and wait, more retailers are coming out of the woodwork with tempting offers. Wal-Mart will cash my stimulus check for me free of charge. That's right, the $3 check-cashing fee will be waived even if I opt for cash and not the $600 on a Wal-Mart MoneyCard.

Too bad I nearly lost my mind on my last visit to Wal-Mart. Damn those Rollback prices! They are what's truly tempting! I saved some cash, true. But it wasn't worth the brain cells I lost after having to donate them to the cashier to get her to re-scan my coupon.

Now if Target offered to cash my check ... Sphere: Related Content
