mickbrown Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 There was a bloke next to me who bought a pint and didn't have a card. Almost paid for him. Almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to do the spreadsheets daily too but tapping the card does make me frivelous and it 100% does make a difference to how we spend it. When my spends has gone its gone, however my card will keep tapping all day. No self control, thats the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only am I tapping for me, if I see someone I last saw 15 years ago, I'll tap them one on. If the kids say can I go to the bar I cant say here's a fiver and they take the royal piss. I got a litre of JD Honey for 26 quid. It will last me 3 games for just over 8 quid a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's gone it's gone. Had to do it that way when I was skint a few years ago (after earlier using debit card) and I've just stuck with it.

Get one of those top up cards like you would going on holiday and load it up with that day’s spends (plus you might end up with a bonus few quid for the next one if you don’t spend it all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds dad Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I am a contactless person but always keep a tenner in the car. Drove up to the match on Saturday via Wilson’s Pie shop to stock up and they are still on cash only so the emergency tenner is always useful.

Marc505 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Turns out that although it's a cashless stadium, the match buses are cash *only*. Got let off for the £7 this time, will know better next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That adds 30 quid to the weekly bills. I can see a family from a lower income area like JF struggling with that. It costs more for the bus than it does for our season tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
