Saving money by paying on card

985 Posts


I’ve been experimenting a little over the last few weeks, and one strategy I’ve found initially went against my better judgment, but seems to work: I’ve been buying everything, however small, on card instead of cash. Basically, I took £20 out at the beginning of the week, but paid for everything, right down to my work lunch, on my card.
I thought this would leave me worse off, since I’ve always had a tendency to feel bad about paying for a £2 meal on my card, so I’d buy a few extra bits to round it up. I dealt with this by using a card that only has about £50 available on it, so I’ve had to watch my spending. Because I’ve only had a £20 note as cash, there’s been no urge to pop to the vending machine for a snack, or pop in the pub on the way home because I’ve got a few quid change
It worked! I had that same £20 from Monday still in my wallet last night – usually, when I break a note, the change either goes in the jar or isn't thought of as 'real money' so it just gets wasted, so I'd usually need at least 3 visits a week to the cashpoint, taking £20 out each time.
Last night was sign language class and my excuse for getting out for an hour, so I spent £11 in the pub afterwards. I still managed to resist going to the chippy, and put the £4 change into the jar instead, so now I’m just carrying a £5 note with me. I’ve been watching my spending on the card, and I’ve spent £13 on that all week, for a total weeks spend of £28, including the £4 that went into the jar. That’s well under half what I’d usually spend during a work week, so I thought I’d share this tip in case anyone else finds it handy

It certainly stops me spending on little things, and as we all know the little things add up all too quickly!

I think it's an approach that's becoming a lot easier with the introduction of self-service checkouts. I always hated the idea of being that person with a £2 order paying by card. Self service checkouts mean that a) I don't get a dirty look off the checkout person, and b) people are queuing for any one of 4-6 tills, so I'm not holding up the person behind me.
