that's exactly the way you should use credit cards (although keeping a log and deducting the amt. from your checking account when you buy on credit also works - just pay from the checking account at the end of the month and then you don't have to have tons of cash lying around the house.)
Where most people screw up is that they start out using it for that and then move into the "well I'll have the money next week so I'll buy on credit today" mentality. That works until you overestimate your paycheck.
