A UBC study examined the financial benefits of penny rounding for grocery stores, the Canadian Press reported.
Christina Cheng, a UBC economics and math student, found that each grocery store she studied made about $157 a year from rounding up to nearest five-cent increment.
The CP story appeared in the Globe and Mail, CTV, CP 24, Toronto Star, Winnipeg Free Press, Regina Leader-Post and Times Colonist, and a similar story appeared in the Vancouver Sun and The Province.
