Default Cash or Credit? Maybe Debit?

What do you like to use, cash or a card? I can't stand cash, because I don't like carrying change around. When I did use cash, I would always give my change as a tip or give it to my bf or my dad lol. Does anyone else hate change?

I use my credit cards for big purchases. As much as possible I use cash when I go shopping so that I can stick to my budget. I place my change or extra coins in my piggy bank!

Maybe I should get a piggy bank. That would be pretty neat. I'm sure the cash would add up pretty quickly, cuz it did in the past

I got this idea from my friend. She said that every time she and her husband have coins, they just place them in a piggy bank. Try it! You'll be surprised on how much you have saved after a couple of months.

I've done it in the past and you're right, it's pretty neat how all of a sudden you can have like $50 in change!

I have a piggy bank, too. Once in a while I count what's in there, and it is usually enough to treat the family to a meal at a nicer place we would normally not go to.

Aww! That's really sweet of you! I'm sure it's very much worth it. That would be a very rewarding feeling

We now have a new purpose for our change: we put it into those boxes they have at McDonald's, collecting money for Ronald McDonald house. We got to stay at the house when our newborn daughter was at the hospital, and it was WONDERFUL. It is one charity I will never hesitate to contribute to. So from now on, this is where our change goes!

That's great that you were able to actually experience where the money is going. I've never had a chance like that. I'm always nervous to give money to things like that, that's good to know

You are very generous, giving tips is not usual. Bu I go for the piggy bank, with it, you can save a lot of money. You can use it to buy gifts for Chris.

That is a really good idea. I haven't bought him anything in a while hehe. I am obsessed with buying gifts for people when I have the money. It just makes me feel really happy I guess I got that from my grandma, she was always taking people out to dinner, or going out of her way to help. I always loved that about her

I like using cash than card. It would be easier to control the budget and the things that I am going to buy. I don't really hate change. some of the change or coins would go to my coin purse, and once I go again to shop, I will use some of the coins to pay so that, if I have change they can give me bills. Sometimes, I would also put it in piggy bank.

What about Cash on delivery? For me this is the favorite mode of any payment wherever possible. First I dont need to carry change with me and second unlike extravagant card shopping its more limited and needful shopping. For my monthly need I always turn to mygrahak.com since from their i got everything in grocery, food products, fmcg, etc. But yeah for daily needs like milk, vegetable, etc I have to rush to local market carrying cash and change
