I pay cash for virtually everything, using only paper money (never using any coins). When I return home, I always dump all of my change into a glass wine decanter on my desk. I have many, many of these full of change from years of depositing.

No, I will not give you my address...lol

Carry a large bill ($100) not many place accept them and hard to get rid off, makes spending harder and automatic saving

The best way for me is to think of an automatic payment to my savings account as a bill.
