   That is what I do too.  On larger items I ask if they will reduce the   
   price if I pay in cash or check instead of charging.  Then I calculate   
   in  my head if I get more money by cash or by charging and paying off   
   the balance each month.   
      
   I only took out 2 credit cards because they offered 200 to 300 dollars   
   if I used them for so much in the first few months.   
      
   Now I have to use a debit card for local stores because the credit union   
   pays money on the checking account if I debit 10 times a month or if I   
   do not they charge a $ 10 fee.  I could switch to a no fee account but   
   no interest.   
      
   The credit companies charge the merchants around 3 % but only give you   
   back 1 to 2 %so they still make money.
