I remember when banks would PAY US to use the ATM and not go inside to the teller. I must be old. I remember when banks would PAY US to use the ATM and not go inside to the teller.

(This is, of course, all predicated on the discipline not to sneak money out of the system.)

Verity Credit Union will reimburse users of their Velocity Checking account up to $25 in ATM fees from other banks. This plus a (currently) 6.01% interest earned on deposits makes for a pretty sweet checking account. Let me know if you're in Seattle and want me to refer you to Verity. You get $25 and I get $25 referral awards. I use a credit union in Seattle. Verity Credit Union will reimburse users of their Velocity Checking account up to $25 in ATM fees from other banks.

I don't think I've paid an ATM fee in over 10 years. We still try to avoid using the ATM though. Money in your pocket is very easy to burn when you're being spontaneous.

Sometimes I may get some cash back when I deposit a check in person, but other than that it's pretty much all plastic. I also don't like to budget categories, I just make sure to take the savings and investment money off the top at the beginning and then I'm forced to only spend what's left. That's just my approach.
