Yeah, I haven't called them yet. I've had this problem when I try to pay for my TMobile phone on the 'net, too. It says I had "insufficient funds" even if I just got paid that day.

I need to calm down a little before I call my bank, Gulf Winds.

Jim hasn't called his bank, either.

I have a creeping feeling I knew what is happening here......can the IRS take a house in lieu on an unpaid bill for $352? I was paying on the month-to-motn system, but they notified me last month that I missed a month, so the entire $352.00 might be frozen in November.


EDIT: If I'd had it to pay the suckers last month I would have done so....but I didn't. So this whole thing is my fault, really. NOW>>>>>I have to go tell my husband. SHIT.

I don't see how it's Publix' fault tho.

Shouldn't you be mad at your bank instead?

A cheap-ass friend of mine turned me on to a bargain Tequila. Camarena, I think the name of it is... not a sippin' Tequila, but it mixes up well in a blender. I usually pay $32 for a fifth, but this stuff is $39 for 1.75 liters.

That should count for something!

Yomama wrote:I had my bank do that when I invited Hallmarkgrad to breakfast. HE wound up paying for it. It was on a credit card and there were thousands of dollars in available credit... go figure.

I agree with Sal, though. It is hard to conceive that Publix is the culprit. I shopped there today. They're a bit pricey but they have the selection.

My favorite place is Sams. No selection, but what they have is usually at a good price. Baby back ribs and pork tenderloins for $2.99/lb. this week. At Publix, I bought a big container of Maple syrup and paid dearly for it... something like $16, and saw the same size for about $4 at Sams (cheaper than their Ms. Butterworth's syrup that's made from High Fructose Corn Syrup).

PBulldog2 wrote:Just go to Publix, which used to be Albertson's. Get really excited when you see all the wonderful selection, such as roasted brussel sprouts, V8 Pomeganate juice available nowhere else, mavvvvvvelous-looking salmon, Garclic-herb bread fresh from the bread section.......and more. More, such as a pork roast with baby carrots and fingerling potatoes. Babay swiss cheese and Jewish Rye. Romaine lettuce and fake crab meat. New dressings. Make-up to make me look pretty and stuff to make my blonde hair even MORE blonde and sexy! OH....and don't forget the big pig foot for our dog Buddy. Molly and Mikey get big biscuits. Oh, we had them, too. And cat food;. And dog food.

We had had a long day running all over town, and I was on a roll to get some foods my newly-diabetic husband can eat and drink. I was SO THRILLED with all the cool foods I found for diabetics. (and not the diabetic cookies, either. )

So.....we are at the register, all smiles, when I go to pay for our stash.

"Ma'am.....your card shows insufficient funds.""

"Do it again", I growl. Loudly

No change.

Hubby says, "Try mine, babe....it will pay for it."

"Sir.....your card shows insufficient funds."

We were LIVID.

They asked if we wanted them to hold the groceries. I told them no, put them all back. It will take them at least an hour to find and put away the more rare items we bought.

We argued a bit in the car, then we realized it didn't do any good to argue. We went home, looked at our accounts, and yes, we had enough to pay for the groceries.

We will never, ever, shop at Public's again......but it's fun thinking about them putting all that stuff back.

Except for the two free medications Publix provides me. lol
