How to Beat the High Co$t of Living

Other mistake: It's a funny line, sure, but when Jane is with her fiancé, he tells her that her mother and her lesbian partner "adopted a black baby" and "last week, she hocked her wedding ring to buy a crib." That's a little fast, considering the relationship happened just a little before the heist planning, a week. (01:04:20)

Other mistake: Elaine is counting her share of the loot in $20 increments; however the pile of money is not made of $20 bills. You can spot about 1 in the visible area, the rest are 1 or 5 dollar bills. Louise is shown stacking away all $100 and $20 bills. (01:38:30)

Factual error: It is established early in the movie (Natalie's call) that the money ball event celebration is part of the -first - anniversary of the Valley River Center, the shopping mall where most of the movie is set, with the town of Eugene, Oregon, mentioned explicitly. However, the center opened in 1969, and the movie is set in 1980. The original script was written in 1971, so that line needed an update and slipped by.
