When was the last time you used cash?

[MikeRafone]

I’m trying to remember the last time I used cash and it was April 5th to buy fuel. A friend owed me money and gave me cash.

i think it’s the only time this year I’ve spent cash

I can’t remember when I last used cash but I have some at home just in case.

On holiday a month ago, purely to give tips.

I pay my dog walker weekly in cash
so last Friday.
I keep an emergency £20 for taxi but even they take contactless now.
I pay everywhere on my phone now, thanks to DS1 showing me the way

Today!

Post offices are even harder to come by than atms though 😂

wouldn’t care.

About 2 weeks ago to pay for parking at a junior football gala. Had to go get it especially for this as rarely use it normally.

Today.

At least twice in the last week.

Id be happy to lose it.

Ages ago. Can't really recall in fact!

I carry about £50 cash around just in case but it's been the same notes for a while.

This morning. Also yesterday. Also Monday. Also Saturday. I use a card some of the time but think it's important to retain an option that is independent of monitoring and control.

The advice to keep 72 hours worth of emergency supplies on hand includes cash.

So many shops won't take them because they're a forgery favourite.

We have a cashpoint in town that only dispensers tenners. There is often a queue for it. I miss the one in a nearby town that used to only dispense fivers. Always a massive queue for that one!

Today. And most days.

Today. The parking meter only takes coins where I work.

Friday - school raffle tickets, parking ticket & charity dinner table donation

The weekend, at a small club event, they don’t have a card reader (or bank account)

Yesterday day in the pub. Also at ASDA and ice cream parlour.
Paid for parking with cash.

Before COVID 😬

I really try not to use my card so cash mostly for me too! Im always scrabbling about for loose change to pay for something as I just love it when the cashier says ‘oooooooo we love a bit of change!’ 😂 and I’m in my overdraft so there’s that too 🫠

Surely the money comes from your bank account whether you pay by cash or card though? Unless you’re paid in cash?

Yesterday - I use lots of forms of banking and like choice.

My hairdresser only takes cash at the salon, so that's every six weeks I pay her in readies and the man who cuts my grass also only takes cash and I paid him £35 just this morning.

At lunchtime in Sainsbury’s

the only times I end up with cash tend to be related to colleagues and things like work meals, gifts or leaving dos

Any time I end up with cash I go on a mission to use it up asap. The alternative is to find a bank during their limited opening hours to deposit it which is incredibly difficult near me.

So in summary I never use cash, when I have some I panic spend it as to not deal with the faff! It’s like a hot potato
