My bank is not close to my home but when I want money, I never pay ATM charges after my banker told me this hint. She said that when I am shopping and using my card, to ask for some cash back. Check with your store first and make sure they do give cash back first. I do this now instead of ever using an ATM that would charge me to take out my own money!

Did you ever notice how much money you spend when using your Debit Card to get cash out of an ATM that is not affiliated with your bank? I was stunned when my last statement came and the fees associated with using ATM's. Anywhere from $2.25 to $3.00 to use the service.
Using your own bank's ATM will save you about $2.00 per transaction. Eliminating just one transaction fee per week will net you approximately $100.00 per year.
In some instances, it is smart to shop with cash only, but skip the bank or the ATM if you're withdrawing money. Instead, use your debit card to purchase small items and get cash back at no charge.
Avoid high ATM fees by only using your card at your local bank's ATM machine or you can also use it to get cash back at the store.
