We pay it off completely at the end of the month and reap benefits from the card (cash back, points, college fund money).Becky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620842698659906921.post-83497742152449075172008-02-28T17:54:00.000-08:002008-02-28T17:54:00.000-08:00I use my credit card because I am paranoid against...I use my credit card because I am paranoid against fraudulent charges (that is what happens when you sit next to the fraud department at work).<BR/><BR/>Plus I get points that I can cash in for Shell gas cards.

I only use those if I'm in a major bind. I've used cash only for groceries for ages. I know about what everything is going to cost me and I round up to cover any extras. I write my grocery list at home and out beside each item I write the estimated cost. If I'm buying eggs and I know they at $1.86 a doz I write down $2.00. I total my list and have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to spend. Then I might bring along an extra $10 "just in case". I'm usually under budget doing it this way. Also, I've been in the situation where I goofed and bought more groceries than I had money. The cashiers are usually nice about taking off a couple of items to bring the total back down to what I needed. Not fun, but it happens to lots of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620842698659906921.post-9336367298534169112008-02-28T11:32:00.000-08:002008-02-28T11:32:00.000-08:00Debit card.

If I'm going to spend the money regardless, at least I'm getting a "gift" out of it. ;o)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874086925601439116noreply@blogger.com
