which I read recently is to buy gift cards for supermarkets when you reach payday – maybe one for each week. And then use these to get food and essentials with throughout the month. As these can’t be used for gambling or to get cash for gambling it is a good way of ensuring that you get fed and watered for the month. As to the bank card thing – the reason I suggested scratching off the digits was to prevent them being read again. I found carrying a lot of cash to be dangerous – but we are all different.
