The reason why Della counts the money thrice:

Della counts the money thrice to be absolutely certain that there is no mistake in the final total.

Explanation:

It's a day before Christmas, and Della realizes the fact she is yet to buy a present for her husband, Jim, but then it turns out, that she didn't have an adequate amount of it. Hence, she counts the sum of $1.87 three times to be assured that there was no mistake in counting her savings, even though that she still felt like she could have saved more. Finally, Della sells her alluring long hair for twenty dollars, and buys a present for her beloved husband.
