We pay for all of our purchases with our debit card. Some transactions we will pay cash, but for the most part, it's debit.

If you have a budgeting problem or are not able to control your spending, I would not recommend this method. We just happen to be very good at controlling our spending.
Ditto! I put groceries, drug store purchases, restaurants, everything I can on our charge card. BUT...I get a rebate back on the amount spent and I pay off the balance every month, so I'm actually MAKING money by using my charge card, not paying interest charges.
