The Wall Street Journal A study found that Americans buy more unhealthy foods when paying with credit cards instead of cash: http://on.wsj.com/d6id0Q Do you find that to be the case for you?

Since my debit card also works as a credit card and I get reward points when I make "credit" purchases I very rarely use cash...so I guess the answer is yes, I buy more junk food with plastic than I do with cash.

Not me.. I don't even have to go inside the store when I get gas so no junkie issues.

But I have more online orders..obviously

I get cash back rewards for using my credit card so I use it all the time and pay it off monthly.  But I don't buy much fast food or junk.  And I don't carry much cash ever.

so, I forgot the question.
