I usually have a £20 in there as the nearest cash point is 2 miles away at the tesco local and there are always unsavory looking people hanging around. I might need to go to the pub for a pint at anytime so need some cash on me:beer:

I very rarely have any cash in my purse, i use my card most of the time.

i usually have a lot of cash in my purse

but that is only because the nearest non fee charging cash machine is in town and i refuse to pay to access my own money.

it's very rare for me to have more than a couple of pounds in my purse...I use a card for almost everything

at least £10, usually £20 buying lunch everyday is a pain with a card, but everything else is bought with card

I allow myself £40 per week to 'spend'. That is for socialising, lottery, swimming, small treats etc.

When its gone, its gone................................

I try to only carry 2 x £1 coins. One for emergencies, and the other for the gym locker.
I always have my card with me if it's really important, but by having less in my wallet I remove the temptation!

i try to use my card for everything, I find if I have a tenner in my purse, I wont think twice about nipping to the shop or something.

I give myself a small allowance in cash every week and this is 'stored' in my wallet - and as I'm a MUCH better saver than spender, I'd make a mugger very happy if they were take a chance on me !

But all 'big shopping'/food shopping is done with cash - which saves us hundreds (if not thousands) of £'s a year.

trawden

are you like me and have a secret stash in your purse/wallet for the money you dont spend each week?

I try to tell myself i can then spend it on treats for myself, but im that tight i just like it to be there!!!!

I also get cash out for shopping but have a separate purse/wallet for that money.
