Date: 2018-09-11 04:28 pm (UTC)I use my card a lot, as in "for everything including routine bills," because I want to pile up points. Without that incentive (old card), I didn't, not nearly as much. Groceries, anything in a small shop, many restaurants, I paid cash.

Date: 2018-09-11 06:36 pm (UTC)While I was still working I usually paid cash for my lunch at the cafeteria because it was just too easy to spend too much using debit. I will use it at thrift stores or crafters' markets when I am using the physical limit in my wallet to prevent me from buying one of everything - naturally, if something is really good, I break my own rule.
