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.

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.
