Can't remember the last time I paid in cash for anything,not even a loaf of bread.We've got Moneo nowadays,small change transactions on your debit card.In fact I can't remember the last time I actually had any cash in any sort of signinficant amount,can usually go 2 to or 3 weeks with about 7 euros in my pocket.
