Whenever I pay for something in cash, I'm trying to make it so that the change I get back requires the least notes or is simpler.
For example, if I owe $7.84, I might give $13.09 so that I get $5.25. I sometimes get confused looks.
Related to that, I don't like having more than 4 $1 bills. I feel like, at some point, I didn't give the cash I should have.
