Routine, same amount every time and the time is predictable:  
Auto deduct from debit card. Will give TR/Account to limited people (PayPal has it, Google does not).

Know who and when, do not know how much (gas, electric, credit cards, a few others): have them set up for manual direct debit.

In person, time/payee/amount varies, never more than $100 - cash

A few are oddball: being old, I have several Rx drugs - most can be refilled by machine - I have the pharmacy’s mail-order handle it (yes, I know we are killing the Pharmacy Schools).  
I do have have opioids, which are a super-special case\* which requires super-special handling.

- Esp. now that Appalachian Coal Mines have shut down (that Ni\*\*er in the White House is waging war on White America!) and the area is being flooded with “Hillbilly Heroin” - Oxycontin.  
Not surprisingly, some of the illiterate Wh_te Tra_h are killing themselves with it.
