I think I've had the same $20 in my wallet for 6 months. I just don't use cash hardly ever. The only time I use cash is when I want to buy my wife a surprise gift..... she watches our credit card daily!

DITTO !!!

I don稚 always pay the price on the tag with cash. Small business are almost always willing to negotiate and a lot of gas stations advertise a lower cash price.

Not long ago I had a CC that gave 10% back on gas.

I currently have one that gives 5% cash back.
This is for ALL gas purchases...ANYWHERE!
No need to drive to, or hunt down, any particular station.
Our local gas price is $2.40/gal.
My VISA gives me 12 cents back, on every gallon, every station, every day.
Plus a 5 cent/gal. Shell reward discount, at the pump.
I like it !!

I don’t know how it is there but out here you’d need every bit of that $20 for 1 person at many sit down, waited-on establishments. Breakfast as well. When did breakfast and lunch become priced like dinner?

Generally, lunch is chick fil a , or a sub. Breakfast sure has gotten more expensive.
I stopped eating at 5 guys because their prices are outrageous.

We also use one of our supermarkets credit cards that gives reward points, $1 = 1 point, we hit 20,000 points we get a $100 eftpos card which is in our case about every two months, 55 days interest free and we always pay on time so to date no interest.
The supermarket and it's allied stores offer bonus points on some purchases the best one being their liquor store which every so often offers 4000 points for a $70 purchase, one bottle of single malt and I'm there with points to spare.
If their fuel is cheaper I will use that too.
Some bonus points are simply not worth it so you have to be fairly judicious with your choices.
We have two major supermarket chains and they offer similar cards, the downside is the interest rate is high if you don't pay on time which is how they make their money, both close to 20%.

On a side note... I order a vegetarian omelet at most restaurants, and add ham and sausage! :laughing:

Seriously! Why? Because the veggie omelet usually has larger and more varieties of veggies than a "normal" omelet, and is usually larger, as they're compensating for a lack of meat. Add some feta cheese to that, and a side of salsa and a bottle of tobasco and I'm in heaven. :licking:

Then, I may tip in cash. But usually just add the tip to the CC bill.
