I have to say that I don't. We draw the huge sum of £20 every month and that's it. |

We do, usually holding about £30 each. Its mainly used for general expenses of less than £10. Our main card isn't a tap&go meaning its a hassle getting it out all the time. |

I use cash when I shop locally - I would hate to use my card for anything under £20. |

I use cash all the time. I draw cash out every week (can't be doing with monthly) after leaving in enough to cover a week's outgoings and then I know that everything in my purse is mine to spend. I find it much easier to budget this way and I have ever been overdrawn at the bank in my life. If you haven't got money in your purse you can't spend it. |

I still use it and don't like to be without, for small purchases. Food shopping goes on debit, larger stuff always on credit card, which is always paid off. |

I use a card for most grocery shopping , If I want cash, I would obtain it at the same transaction. I use cash for small purchases eg. when buying greetings cards from small retailers. |

We use cash, we draw a weekly amount that is used for coffees out, small purchases like newspapers etc. Groceries are on the credit card, have only used contactless once but I note all CC purchases in my accounts book. (I am old fashioned I like to see in writing what we spend) I balance this book against the bank on line statement. We do have contactless debit cards. Not sure I trust them yet. It works for us and 'if it aint broke'! |

I still use a lot of cash. Not that I am a technophobe, far from it. I do online banking and buy lots of stuff online. I use my contactless card in shops and supermarkets etc. |

Coincidentally, as from today, retailers are no longer allowed to add an extra 2.5% or fee if you pay by card. |

I don't think you can pay by cash on London buses these days. |
