I agree.... I use the amount as a round up for the heart donation. Even with the regular outside order forms that I print off CCorner. The guest list all the products in the top section and ignore the bottom pantry and book section.... if they can't take the time to read and submit too much money. If It is a credit card, I only charge them the computer price. I don't think I (or my host) should have to worry about returning a dollar or two because they didn't take the time to read the form.
