Especially since it's more common now to pay digitally and not get cash from the bank and then use it in every day shopping. I've adopted it too when merchants strongly encouraged it during the lock downs, and it's just so easy, I've kept it. I do spend more, but I don't know if there's a causal relationship -- would handing over bank notes make me more aware of what and how much I'm buying?
