    I usually carry no cash. If I have cash I tend to buy junk. I have an odd habit of being really "aware" that I have cash and I feel a great desire to trade it in for useless things.
    Also- it never fails that on days I have cashed a check, withdrew alot of money to pay on my credit card, or had money returned to me thatsomeone borrowed- my fiance gets in some snafu that he needs cash. right away. Whenever I have cash on me, about half the amount will end up in my fiances pocket somehow.
    So if I plan to buy something I go to the bank and withdraw only enough to purchase the item with. I carry my credit card everywhere for emergencies. Doesnt always work, sometimes I'm up a creek with "cash only" policies, but not often.

      None. Seriously. I've had to charge $0.26 at a grocery store. The least I've charged is $0.12. Since I use coupons frequently, often my totals are less than $1.

      When I used to travel 100+ round trip I would always have cash on me though. In case of an emergency.

      Now, everywhere I travel is less than .25 miles away from a gas station, store or something.

        No more than $20. Usually $10-$15.

          I never carry cash on me. I always use my debit card.

            Some change. The last time I had any significant money in my purse was the beginning of June when I had to make a trip to the ER I put the $40+ into my hubbies wallet in case they admitted me and he needed parking/food money. turned out I was discharged. By the end of the week, somehow most of the money was gone also and it had been earmarked as yard sale money. Money burns a hole in my hubbies wallet. I think he thinks more about what he is spending when he uses a cc. I keep the debit cards because it is too hard to be sure what we are spending and I don't keep much in the checking account.
