Or is it better to keep the money in the bank where it is earning interest and then sending it closer to the due date? -Jeff, New Jersey Dear Jeff: Because interest on credit card accounts is calculated according to the "average daily balance," it makes a difference. In fact, the sooner you can pay during the billing cycle, the sooner your balance will drop, which means you will pay less interest. If you cannot make your entire payment early in the cycle, consider sending (or making your payments online) onequarter of it every week or half every two weeks. Just make sure you have sent at least the entire minimum due before the due date. Getting socked with a late fee will undue all kinds of effort you've made to reduce your balance. Dear Mary: We purchase fresh broccoli at the local supermarket, cut off the large stem, wash the flowerets and place them on paper towels to dry before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
