Get a debit card.  Some of the hype in the commercials is actually true.
Works like a check, accepted by places that don't take checks, and
doesn't require ID.  You don't get the float you get with a credit card,
but you don't have to worry about digging yourself into the massive
debt hole.

Or you could preserve your anonymity (since you want to use a check
I'm assuming that's not your goal) and pay cash.
