The advantages of spending cash

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Thank you for all your shopping with cash stories. It's good to know there are a lot of cash warriors out there.

[@marianne8280]

A lady I met on the bus was very talkative. Complained at that no one chatts on the bus anymore because everyone is staring at their cell phones. She was really nice and fun to talk to. She made my day.

[@rusticgardenretreat4892]

She's right!

[@marylynch951]

I chat to everyone Even if they are on their phone Lol😂 Because its not just the young ones on their phone Sadly a lot of middle age as well

[@cherylparkinson6136]

I’d hate for us to loose cash 💴 Fantastic art work ❤

[@KerryJames-l6z]

Your right spending cash is safer yes we need to socialise great video thank you❤

[@rockingran1957]

More people are starting to realise how important using cash is, it’s definitely on the increase again here in rural Ireland thank goodness. Wonderful craft piece. TTFN.

[@marylynch951]

Good to hear

Nice art work! My 24 years old daughter just told me yesterday that, she will start using cash every time she wants to spend money because with the bank card, she has been overspending and increasing her debts.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

That's good news. Keep encouraging her.. She shouldn't have any debts, unless she has a mortgage. Tell her to go all out to pay her debts off. Debts are a chain around her neck. She can't live her life until she gets rid of them.

[@ruthie2222]

I always use cash 💰

[@acolourist1798]

So agree with you. Cash all the way. What if the whole system, satellite goes down, exchange is guaranteed with cash. Love your stitch work it's beautiful. Cancelled tv licence yesterday, first lady refused to cancel it. So I phoned back, had a strange conversation with a young man this time trying again to refuse me. Tactics they were trying to use were appalling. I have gotten rid of the tv for good.Thank You for your videos.💖

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Enjoy the rest of your life. Plenty of other fun things to do.

[@deborahbain9915]

Your so right Cash is King

[@Lisajen-h5u]

Greetings from Tasmania, Australia. I love using cash, I have changed back to cash as it helps me budget.

[@marilyn9155]

I know what you mean! There are some places that won’t take cash! Very few, but they do exist. I use cash wherever possible . Your project is gorgeous! So colorful! Thanks for this … Have a great week Ilona. ❤x

[@grumpy_poo]

Those places don't get my custom....

[@grumpy_poo]

Certain supermarket, near me, started closing the main checkouts of an evening so forcing people to use the self serve.... my friend had a trolley load of shopping and was told to use them... He is 80 years old .. He took the trolley to the self serve and left it there.... the attendant was mortified.... but their own fault... losing custom hand over fist.

[@marylynch951]

Yes i have been asked if I wanted to use self service Me no thank you could you please get some one to open this till l😂

[@anneosullivan4107]

Nice one Ilona. I do try to use cash also but sadly not always. You have such a eye for shapes and colour in your crafts. It's a lovely piece of art. 👍

[@kimmcnear6843]

Love the art work. You are a creative and one smart cookie

[@robertanderson2142]

Brill ilona i try to use cash whenever i can , keep up the vids rob scotland

[@carolwest4433]

Cash is King. Freedom of choice. Loss of jobs in supermarkets and serving yourself at self checkout. So many systems down this week in my vicinty and only taking cash. Please wake up everyone. Bless you for being out there telling truth. X

[@chrismaas5182]

Love your project. Very creative🙂👌

[@decluttering-queen1898]

I try and use cash most if the time. Just use my odds and ends to tap in the shops. Take care xx

[@devangi2728]

Totally agree, and cash keeps one in control when it comes to over spending When we pay by card , you don’t see the real money going out and it’s just swipe swipe

[@simplefoodsimplelife9632]

Cash is the way to go.

[@karen4you]

Your paint and stitch project is so interesting. Your friends know that you can transform anything!

[@peterleprevost2154]

Cash only! Love your finished time piece. Susan

[@pamelacourtney8998]

Love your art project. That's right up my alley . Blessings to all and toodlepip ❤

[@angelakneller2880]

Bueautifil embroidery, I create my own embroideries, gave one to a couple at the dementia support group I volunteer at and now I’m doing a second one since finding heat erase pens I can put my drawings on to the fabric easily and don’t have to buy a kit. I don’t charge for my embroidery I do them as gifts x

[@angelakneller2880]

Sorry I spelt beautiful wrong I blame 3 day migraine. Just got some migraleve as meds from drs not working. Cost me £11.30 for the box. Luckily most of the time the stronger meds from drs work but not this time. Luckily only working one day this week but want to be well enough for Friday as booked a treat for being on holiday spa day. So hope to be better by then x

[@sandradavies2106]

@@angelakneller2880 have a look into Magnesium supplements these are supposed to be good for migraine. I've been using for about 2 months because of multiple problems I was experiencing. No longer suffering from cramp restless leg, extreme tiredness, and not sleeping to name but a few. Feel loads better.

[@susansmithoz]

🇬🇧Great to see you today …. You Give me Hope…. I consider you my friend. 😘👵🏻🌎🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘💐🙏

[@karen4you]

Lots of times here the store card machine is not working! And if there is a power outage it won't work. Businesses can't sell anything then!

[@christinehowells5845]

I'm with you with the cash lliona xx

[@shirleywormald3197]

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I love what you made it is fab, cash is the way the only way. I like saving my penneys and 5ps I dont want to stop that. Love the video

[@rusticgardenretreat4892]

I got away from carrying cash when I worked at a school in a dangerous part of town. I keep less than 10 dollars in my phone wallet. When a hurricane is moving into the gulf, I will get a few more dollars to have because I know that if it hits my area near Houston that the local gas pumps cannot take credit cards during those times. Also even the stores go to cash only. They let only a handful of people go into the store accompanied by a clerk with a flashlight and you have to pay with cash. Last storm had us without power to run credit machines for the better part of a week. The stores have backup generators but they use them to run their fridges.

[@banksyc473]

Cash essential for bargains at the car boot sales 👍

[@jodeethompson1137]

That’s beautiful art work.

[@LovingLifeOnLess]

Cash is King! Queen and Jack of all trades in our house. 🥰

[@marylynch951]

👍💯🙏🙏

[@soniazenout]

Yes-I agree. Cash is the way to go.

[@isabelclarke9198]

Its the only way to see where your money goes, and easier to make savings on day to day items.

[@grandpahickory613]

I HAVENT any CASH, WISH I DID.....ACTUALLY, I AM QUITE BROKE THESE DAYS AS MY DENTAL SURGERIES HAVE COST ME A FORTUNE IN 2024.....CHEERS TO ALL ANY ROAD !

[@rachelmolina3995]

Very pretty!! Thank you for another great video!!

[@brunobruno-r3w]

I use cash most of the time, and like you I like to talk to a human when I buy something. I must get a email about once a month from my bank asking me to do online banking, but I just ignore it, as I like a paper statement every month. I so much look forward to any uploads that you put on here, and love your new art work. You are looking very well, which is nice to see.😍

[@rusticgardenretreat4892]

I do some online banking, but I still go into my bank about once or twice a month for some in person banking as some things just don't feel right over the phone. I like getting a paper receipt for my banking transactions.

[@Jess-k6q]

You can’t use your card and talk at the same time??

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I get a paper statement in the post every month. I like to keep a record of my transactions.

[@thissideupthatsidedown]

Thanks for the video. Cash is cool. When something goes wrong at the store's point of sales they only accept cash all of the sudden. 🤔

[@marylynch951]

Hi Ilona Yes I have noticed alot more people using cash Me personally I use cash all the time in the last 2 years Pay all my bills with cash God bless ❤❤

[@sandradavies2106]

We came home from Lanzorote with Jet 2 last Tuesday and they do not take cash anymore, we refuse to not have the choice of using cash so did not purchase anything at all. Luckily we did have water with us.

[@bettygraham818]

My friend who lives in Italy where cash is still used ( they don’t trust the banks) was worried because her daughter visited London and said it was ‘cards only’ The friend comes to a south coast town every year and only ever uses cash. I reassured her because I have another friend who lives in that town and only ever uses cash. We are lucky here in South Wales. We have many shops which will ONLY take cash! We must keep fighting against the people trying to know and control how we spend our money ! Those loyalty cards are only a way of giant super markets gaining knowledge of what we are buying and our spending habits.

[@bettygraham818]

Coincidentally I have just watched a KZbin video called The Dark Truth of Loyalty Schemes. It ‘s worth watching just to back up every thing Ilona has been saying about people trying to control us through our shopping.

[@Harry-fk5of]

Since watching your videos I've started taking some cash out each week. I must admit I still use my phone, but I've noticed that when I take cash out and have the notes and coins in my possession, I'm more cautious about spending it. I'm going to attempt to use cash more often this year.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I am glad to hear that. Numbers on a statement don't register with me, but when I have cash in my hand, that seems more real. It's about finding the right solution for yourself, and not be swayed by the media. Always carry some cash and get into the habit of using it.

[@margaretpiddock455]

Apparently i read on the bbc news more and more people are using cash now, as its a good way of keeping hold of your spending. Beautiful project you have on the go there IIlona, lovely x

[@banksyc473]

Many,people especially the elderly,benefit from the social interaction whilst paying by cash ie; a good natter,a friendly smile, etc. with the person on the till or local market stall . The struggle and confusion using “self service” checkouts must be daunting.

[@gilliansmith6485]

Your embrodery hoop is lovely. I also use cash werever I go. I refuse togo in places that are card only. I agree they are trying to turn us all in to robots and zombies.x

[@leighwiseman8389]

Hi Ilona, at my little Tesco Express the self service check outs are card only. When I went to the till to pay with cash they kept me waiting ages because they were stacking shelfs. Really annoyed me, they just want you to use a card. I love your beautiful picture. Take care Ilona xxx❤

[@sandradavies2106]

I would have left my shopping on the conveyor belt and walked out, they would have to put it all back themselves. If they don't want my cash I refuse to give them my business.

[@marylynch951]

Yes I do the same I stay very calm I don't get agitated And I don't give a explanation as to why I won't use self service 😂😂

[@mimi1o8]

There are more and more self serving cashiers all over were I live. It’s becoming harder to talk to other humans personally nowadays.

[@rowan7658]

Vote with your wallet don’t use them.

[@sjbutler2330]

Your artwork is so beautiful! Start selling some! I would buy a piece ,and since I live in Canada, I would need to send a cheque ...or... Plastic?? Lol take care Ilona, hi to the kitties for me, Sandra 💙

[@zoea2812]

Unfortunately im disabled & cant do my shopping in physical stores so I have to buy online. I would love to be able to only use cash but its not always possible.

[@peggybines2316]

I want to stay with cash for all the same reasons you said

[@CarolFox-ut2fg]

I never thought about cash offering a chance for a chat, that it keeps Community connected.. Have you read about the truckers strike in Canada and how they were bullied by the Government because they could retaliate against them via their plastic assets? Scared the pants off me. I love Ireland’s policy that legislated to keep cash in the community. I’m a cash girl!

[@66REDD66]

The fat butcher in my town has started taking card payments only because they got robbed. Then all of a sudden all their branches are card only!!! It’s a sad state of affairs. We need to keep our cash!!!!!

[@sjbutler2330]

Are you against fat people or just butchers ingeneral???
