Go to any number of places that still accept cash?
Our major grocery store chains all still accept cash (ICA, Coop, Willys, Hemköp etc.) and at least ICA and Coop sells pretty much -everything- at their larger stores. They don't sell mattresses or furniture I guess, but you can go there with enough money and come out fully equipped to go camping for example. IKEA also accepts cash still, so you can buy your furniture there. Or even go get a nice meal there; a plate of meatballs and mashed potatoes costs 39 SEK (~3.7€, $4.1 USD). A BigMac&Co costs twice as much as a frame of reference.
I (a Swede) am able to use cash every single day, and it's not an effort to do so.
- 2rsf 7y agoI guess you live near an IKEA store then. To get to IKEA and buy furniture you'll need to top up your SL card using card. In rural ("rural" meaning an hour commute from Stockholm) you'll find it even harder to get and use cash.
- kungtotte 7y agoI actually live 90 minutes outside Stockholm, going by public transport. According to https://sl.se https://sl.se it would take me 2 hours to IKEA Kungens Kurva. It's trivial to both get and use cash here.
