So tired of being charged $2-$3 by the ATM, then getting hit on the
back end by my own bank for another $2-$3 just for using another bank's
ATM.
So it costs me $6 to take out $20 from an ATM. Ridiculous, don't you
think?
What banks are the best at keeping these fees low or even free?

Do you have access to a credit union? If so, I think many of them belong to
networks where you can use other credit unions' ATMs at no charge.

It's not to hard to find institutions that will not charge you for ATM
withdrawals, Washington mutual is advertising free checking right now.
You just have to learn where you can use your ATM card and not get
charged by the bank that owns the ATM. When I was living in Georgia I
banked with a Credit union and used Presto ATMs at Publix grocery
stores. They didn't charge to use the ATM, probably as a marketing
ploy. I knew where every Publix was within 50 miles of where I lived.
That was 4 years ago so I don't know whether they are still free.

Also instead of paying a $2.00 charge, buy a pack of gum and get cash
back.

Lots of Internet-only banks charge no ATM fees, and will even rebate
fees charged to their customers by the ATM-owner banks.
