You can in many cases. Like every time you buy something in person. Many online purchases accept checks. If inconvenient, it's a small sacrifice worth making for liberty.

A Whole Foods near me recently added self checkout. The machines have the capability of accepting cash…except they have it disabled and the employee told me she hasn’t heard it would be enabled. I pulled a bunch of cash from my bank because if I don’t have the cash, do I really have money on a whim?

Maybe email management that you'll start shopping there again soon as they enable it.

Saw on MSM (It was an accident, I swear!) where a woman was arrested because she paid for everything with cash and that drew suspicion. However, before I changed the channel they started to state what she was actually suspected of, I didn't catch what it was and I don't know if it was national or local, but no matter what it put a chill through me.

I've paid cash most things local for decades. No problem. But it pays to beware. If some a-hole seller asks questions, cancel the sale & take your business elsewhere.

Amen to that! I'd rather pay cash, as long as I have some on me. (I usually do.)

I carry more than enough for what I'm going to buy.

I don't do this, but some use postal money orders to lower traceability, though I imagine with facial recognition at the PO, they can or soon will be able to ID the buyer, and it may raise attention. And they're not free.

Another bonus paying cash: "woke" Visa & MC scumbags don't get a cut, sellers get 100% so it helps keep inflation down. Use checks for campaigns & charitable donations so they get 100%.

Never donate through "WinRed", owned by the corrupt establishment "R" party, controlled by Ronna Romney. "WinRed" uses 4% of your donation to elect corrupt neo"cons", RINOs et ilk. Your candidate only gets 96% less Visa's cut.

Many banks have "bill pay" or something like it where you go online to order checks. The bank even pays the postage, so you save 55 cents & hassle. I donate to "misinformation" & "disinformation" artists that way through "woke" Chase to rub their nose in it. I had significant funds there, but after finding out the "woke" crap they're doing, I keep the monthly avg bal down to just enough to avoid fees.

You're welcome. See edit on "bill pay" above.

I have seriously considered moving all money to a credit union, going back to getting a live payroll check (no direct deposit) cancelling every scheduled bill auto-pay, etc and going back to filing taxes manually.

I believe small local banks and credit unions will be safer than any big bank. For now anyway. More of a feeling than any actual fact based information. On top of that, what does a big bank offer you today? Half a percent interest and service fees that more that gobble that up unless you keep an outrageous balance.
