I prefer using cash but I think it is going out of fashion, what do you all think or use?

I seldom use cash, I use a card, mainly contactless, for as much as possible. I use cash when I shop on the market, OH draws a little cash now and then and passes me what I need, saves me going to the bank myself.

I use a mixture - cash for small amounts and a card for bigger sums. OH uses cash all the time. Everybody here takes cash, apart from the dentist. The minimart in the village actually has a notice on the door asking people to use cash as using a card costs the shop and puts prices up!

My hubby would much rather use card but for me cash is king.

Both. I resent having to use a card fir small sums.

I mainly use card but always carry cash. One large independent garden centre here only uses cards.
However I would not want to go cashless.

Like AnnG I mainly use card but always carry a small amount of cash, just in case :-)

Mainly card, but some things, such as donations at local charity coffee mornings, have to be cash, as there's no facility for paying any other way.

One shop I went into I asked if they accepted cash, they said no so I went elsewhere.

I actually pay my chiropodist cash because it is cheaper than paying by card. (no I don't know if that is legal but it is easy as he is in town and near my bank so I can just draw the cash.)

I always have cash incase the system goes down when i'm shopping which it did one xmas eve!! Thankfully i had plenty in cash to cover as many abandoned their trolleys and left with nothing.

Trouble is, when that happens, shops don't have a plan B as we dont have cheques with guarantee cards now so the only option is to pay in cash.

I'm really not sure how we could ever be a cashless society totally. I mean i bought some raffle tickets recently for £2 and i paid cash. Was not going to use my card for such a small amount.

Our local cash machines are always getting vandalised so no chance of getting cash

out unless the post office is open :-0 :-0

Luckily all the shops take cards. :-D
