Either debit card or cash, depending on place and amount.
The shops are charged by the banks for doing their work for them, so for small amounts in independent shops I prefer to use cash.
Habitual credit card use puts you in long-term debt. I use that only for occasional, larger fees like car repairs or one-off expensive items.
Besides, I don't want a cash-less society for various social reasons.

@AllycatAD Agreed .. hoping to see some progress there, despite the liberal protests

@Mellowgirl No ATMs elsewhere, such as at supermarkets and garages? (As you say, some do charge for their services though.)
I am lucky that my bank still has a branch in town, a short bus ride or even walk, away. The next branch is ten miles away but still accessible by bus, train or car.

Cash or debit card only. I recently got a credit card for "emergencies", used it once, paid it off and put it away. Not getting into that hole again.

@bijouxbroussard As long as you pay in full, credit cards have advantages

@smiler2012 Cards have their place and benefits .. airline card points have given us free airfare for paying routine bills/expenses. To each his own .. but there are some positive to card use if managed responsibly.

@Cigarguy101 There are quite few things or events I go to where cash is the only practicable way!

Usual card

depends on whether it is a large or small purchase ... for a small purchase, cash is better than having another line item on a statement, but otherwise a credit card that gives cash back is used for bigger purchases, like over 10 USD, and is paid off monthly

@ArishMell It's extremely wise. I had someone try to argue that coins and bills aren't that disgusting. My favorite question to ask when people doubt that narrative is, if you were walking along and you saw a $100 bill in a mud puddle, would you pick it up? The answer is invariably yes before they realize just what could potentially be in a mud puddle on the side of the road.
