I like the produce, and I think the experience is fun overall, but I don’t think it’s practical for us on a weekly basis. It’s kind of far out of our way, so I feel like our additional fuel consumption is offsetting some of the benefits of shopping there. It also forces us to get up and dressed on Saturday mornings earlier than we’d like, and the vendors there only take cash (which I find inconvenient because I generally don’t carry cash).

I’m all about my debit card, and whenever I go somewhere that requires cash, I hate having to make a special trip to the bank or ATM or remembering to get cash back on a purchase.

Maybe it’s a generational thing (the aversion to cash) but I just like debit too much to switch.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone! In the past I've been mad at myself for the way that I think about cash, but now I embrace it. Whatever works, right? Thanks for commenting, Ariel!

I've never known exactly how to describe it but you nailed it. Electronic banking works for me... I also like Yodlee and Mint. Yodlee is a little more... 'technical' but it does the same job.
