I'm moving more towards cash, because I find I spend less and am more aware of how much I'm spending when I have to actually hand over money. The only terror involved is the feeling I get when I realize I've run out of cash.
The best way to hide purchases with nefarious intent is to have bought them all with cash in the years previous and tucked them away innocently in an old box in the shed, just in case you might someday need a tarp, nylon rope, and chloroform. Totally legit.
There are a couple cash-only places in town here, too.
I'm doing the Chair Dance of Anticipatory Cheese Delight.
Do we need any prosecco, or are we good to go on that?
Sure it is.
If you hate America!
I don't hate America, I just hate paying with ATM cards. And in my head, most retailers don't accept credit cards for amounts under $10 even though I KNOW that's not true anymore. I just have a hard time unremembering it.
Cheese! I want Cheesentine! </greedy, what filet mignon isn't enough?>
When I woke up from sleeping in, yay, it was totally clear and I was all, "buh?" about calling it a snow day. And now? Total snow chaos! It's snowing up, yo.
I may need to record a video.
Oh, yeah, and I totally terrorist paid for my groceries yesterday. It's an awesome hardcore way of enforcing budget. I would normally just fudge, but since I have the cash monies in my hand, I have to put stuff back if I go over.
I suspect I'll be getting into
Downton Abbey
soonish. My recent Rupert Graves obsession has me watching the
Foresyte Saga,
and I feel my historical drama fan waking up.

Grab some on the way home. Are you leaving soon?
By 1 at the latest, hopefully earlier. Want to finish this chunk of data, but making excellent progress.

I think technically their agreements with the credit card companies don't allow this. And I do wonder, now that we give credit cards for $1 purchases at the parking meter, how the city is dealing with that.
BUT, I don't think I spend more money on credit than I would with cash usually (barring the times I wouldn't have cash in my pocket!)--except for the occasional times when I want something that's $3, don't have cash, and feel ridiculous paying credit for something that small and decide to buy something else!
