It means carrying less cash around, and earning cashback. When I do pay in cash, I try to use coins, since I hate having my coinpurse fill up with coins while my dollar bills dwindle. The longer I can go between going to the ATM, the better.

But it’s nice using a CC, then I can keep track of purchases. Although I must admit, I still have $150 left over from last month sitting in my wallet in cash, unused.

I frequently spend my accumulated change there. Yes, it takes time (more time than Coinstar) but there is no fee or discount.

Supermarkets NEED coin in order to make change. Many banks charge today (in both directions) for rolled coin. So Fred Meyer offers a mutually-beneficial way to move coin from where it is unwanted to where it is wanted.

Why Pay More? (pun intended)
