Only time I ever use cash is to pay for something that is a round number


anyway, and for a very small business (i.e. an individual, or maybe a fundraiser).

There is no way I'm ever paying cash for something that is $2.74. I'll pay cash for something that is $2, or $5, or $20. But the instant a penny gets involved, no way. That's going on a card. Which basically means anything that charges sales tax separately isn't cash.

One interesting side effect...my daughter gets a fair amount of tip income at her job at the ice cream parlor. A lot of it is in cash. She'll accumulate it, then give me a wad of cash and ask I deposit that amount in her checking account (we bank with USAA...no local branch to handle cash). I sometimes use the cash at the grocery store, but only for some of the bill. So if the total is $48.22, I'll give them $40 in cash and put the remainder on a card. If I don't do that, I'll take the wad of cash and just buy an Amazon gift card for myself.
