Because I can use my debit card I carry very little money with me. I always have a little in case of an emergency but no more then I can afford to loose.

Every time I go to the mall and shop or do my grocery, I would only use a purse and a certain card holder. If I have to bring few cash with me, I have to use my pocket and distribute them or bring another wallet. But, more often, I would prefer to withdraw cash at the mall than bringing with me big cash. I would only withdraw an amount which is limited to what I need. I guess, that is only a way of controlling the expenses.

This method is not only applicable for controlling the expenses, rather it can be used from theft of money..

That would depend upon the place. If Im shopping at malls, even if they're crowded, I wouldnt mind just storing my cash in the usual place: my wallet. There are those malls where I frequent and most of the people there are familiar faces. These are usually the ones that have good security. So there might be no great need to exercise extreme caution.
But if it was in a crowded place where I really wouldnt trust showing my wallet, then I put some cash in the tiny pocket within my pants pocket. That tiny pocket is mostly used for bills, and the coins would be distributed among my pants pockets, even the ones on the back. Its for easy access. I would just have on hand the minimum amount of cash that Id need to pay for the items that Im buying. If ever there are pickpockets that are very risky that they attempt to steal from me even in that situation, then I could not only charge them with theft, but also harassment.

When I go shopping I use to carry my money in a wallet with the wallet in a purse. However, for the past two years I have only been using a debit card for my purchases. I find it easier and alot more convenient and no worry of being robbed or losing money.
