Make a second account at your bank.  One account is 
'storage' and has all your money.  You never use 
the 'storage account' ATM card for anything outside 
your bank's ATM machines.

The second one is where you only keep $50-$100 in 
it.  When you use your ATM card it's only this account 
that's used.  Just before you make a purchase, move 
money from your 'storage account' into your 'active 
account' and make the purchase.


I second the idea of having a storage account. I do a similar thing myself but for other reasons. I always just keep 
$100 and every time I make a purchase I move money from my storage account over. The only problem is that this does not 
work as well with credit cards. I believe that in the US there is some form of company that allows you to make 
temporary cards for online purchases.
