I have used checks on BF for years. But I will warn you that you will probably be asked for your ID. And at Walmart if the purchase is over I think $300 they had to get management approval. Love using checks safer than cash and still being paid off then. Only reason I am not this year is someone got our checking account info....long story short...we can't write a check til it gets cleared up w/ telechek. No ATM/Checkcard either. So cash it will be.
