Here are some examples of things I prefer to buy with cash: purchases at airports (junk food, junk media, junk items); purchases while traveling by car (mostly junk food); purchases on riskier/dicier neighborhoods and areas; certain occasional purchases at the grocery store or pharmacy.

Also, on occasion, I will refrain from buying or getting certain things if I can't buy or get them anonymously.

Until the legal, regulatory, and cultural environment meaningfully change, my presumption is that every single non-anonymous purchase I make can and probably will be used against my economic interests, sooner or later.
