I use cash for small purchases and purchases that go beyond my debit limit.



and cash is still prevalent here because i live in a pretty rural area.

Cash is still common in rural areas?



For what, under $50?

actually, yeah. 50-60$ transactions are commonly in cash here, but i've seen people bring over a grand and dump it into the VLT's.

On the rare occasions we order food in, we order online and pay by credit card..



I haven't paid for groceries in cash in....I can't remember the last time I used cash to buy groceries.

No they have to redeem it in cash. There is no logistical way we could dispense in cheques.

Purchases on debit can exceed your debit limit.
