After a week of spending cash only this is what our jars
look like:
Transportation: $25.08
Food: $0.04
Entertainment: $18.68
Clothes/Gifts: $32.38
Everything else: $70.00
This gets easier each week.
When faced with making a cash purchase you ask yourself; “Would I rather
have the cash or this item?” Many times
the answer is the cash. When we were
spending on debit it felt like we never walked out of Walmart without spending
about $100. Last night we spent just $2
there. Also going to the dollar store
usually cost us around $20, nowadays we spend a dollar or two to buy whatever
we went in to get. This saves more than
just money, we spend way less time wandering around the stores looking at all
the other pretty stuff to buy.
Side note: There is more in the Clothes/Gifts jar than the
start of the week because I returned something and replaced the money.
