Stephanie,
Yes, we use cash too and it has been one of the most freeing decisions we've made. We talk more often about money now and discuss how we're doing throughout the month. We take out the amount we know we can use for the month on groceries, household items, personal items, etc. and put it in a small container in a safe place. That way, we're not carrying it all around with us at any given time. That has helped me to avoid impulse purchases too because I don't have that much on me at any given time unless I am headed to the grocery store for our monthly purchases.
Great post and a wonderful reminder why cash is best!
Thank you.
