Cash Handling?

[Tad Marko]

Since I pay for most things will a credit or debit card, I have in the
past, using Quicken, I've only tracked cash as an expense. I've
set up GnuCash similarly, but I want to gradually get better about
tracking those expenditures. Would it make sense to leave cash as an
expense account, but when I do have receipts to put rebate entries
into the cash account, linking those expenses to their proper account?
