Since I was at Walmart to do some grocery shopping I decided to use my Bluebird card while I was there. I did my shopping like normal and at checkout swiped my Bluebird card like it was a credit card. You’ll get the protection of a credit card which is so nice and you won’t have to worry about carrying cash!

For instance, if you’re debating whether to treat yourself to a new lipstick, you can pull up your bank and credit balances or check whether you have money left over in your "Me" category right there in the store. These work well for grocery shopping, especially for stores that price match.

Because you can only spend what you put on the card it would be an easy way to set an overall budget or even a budget for a certain something, say eating out or grocery shopping and then only using the card for that purpose in a month. I would highly recommend the American Express Prepaid card to Nicole’s Nickels readers.

We also don’t want to come home to a credit card bill. We''ll plan the menu weeks before we leave, so I can do most of my grocery shopping at home instead of our vacation spot where prices are more expensive. Do you really need another coffee mug or t-shirt? I want to remember my vacation through our photos, not our receipts.

I used the American Express Prepaid card just as I would have my other credit cards. I’ve added money to the card in all3 ways I was able: by charging money on my other American Express card, by debiting it from my bank account and by purchasing a MoneyPak and adding the funds to the card. All 3 ways are super easy.

You know you shouldn’t be using credit cards all the time. You shop to release stress, to be someone else, to escape. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping.
