There was this time when I told the NTUC staff that I didn't need a plastic bag as my bag was big enough. She promptly gave me a 10 cents discount as I probably saved NTUC 10 cents for not taking their bags. I think this is a better way. People may be rich enough not to feel the extra pinch of 5 cents or 10 cents for a plastic bag. But, we are motivated to search for discounts. I think in economics, there is a theory about how losses hurt more than gains. However, I think investment losses and gains may be different from consumption gains and losses.
