I just make a habit of having a couple of hundred in cash at home and periodically pull out a $20 or $40 a week as needed and refill before it gets low. Just always try to have a couple of hundred around.
- jedberg 9y agoWe used to do that too, but that couple hundred came from the meal splitting and New Year money. :) Now I actually have to remember to stop a bank when they're open, because the ATM only gives 20s, and I need 5s and 10s, but since no one uses cash I have no where to break the 20s anymore.
- Domenic_S 9y agoA trick I learned in college where the bank was on the other side of town: use your Debit card with pin at the grocery store and get cash back.
- jedberg 9y agoHmmm, not a bad idea. But they only give like $20 back, right?
- jrowley 9y agoNo, you can ask the cashier for cash back however you like and normally they will comply if they have enough in their drawer. Also, I got $100 at safeway in the self checkout and the machine gave me twenty $5 bills. It was hilarious. I felt like I had hit the jackpot.
