We always add that in to our budget and carry an envelope of 50-$1.

We also leave at least $10 for mousekeeping on T&T day and Check out.

we've taken to an even division of 5's and 1's, less space.

especially when flying on AirTran my bags are packed to the max, anybody who is willing to lug them for me will be rewarded.
