I bought some cash $$ from a little tourist booth round the corner from where I work yesterday for $1.6125. Was only £100 worth as the pocket change stash was running low and figured I'd jump in now - that way if it plummeted by the time we go on our trip I'd at least I'd get some small solace

I do that all the time. When we went in 2009 the rate had plummeted down to $1.38. I still had at a fairly large sum from 2008 which I had bought at more than $2/£1 so the extra few hundred pounds still meant I was shopping at a rate of around $1.90+ while I was there. Still had some left for last year's trip which offset the not too awful rate of £1.50-ish.
For the last couple of years I have been doing as you do and topping up whenever the rate is good so TBH this year I don't know what the average rate is I will be spending at - which is nice. You take the $$ and spend the $$ without converting the whole time
