of only 1500 folk in a backwater of Southern Ontario most of us use our debit cards. That way I keep track of what I spend on every little thing -- groceries, gas, and so on. It's all there laid out on my bank statements. I haven't had a credit card for about ten years. At first the local stores didn't have interac but after the cottagers arrived in the summer that was it. You only need cash in donut shops and -- well that's about it. I would guess less than half of the people you notice not using cash are using credit cards. You can ask for cash back too an avoid having to go to a bank machine.
