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.
