I originally wrote this in 2009, but it's still applicable today.
I was talking to a friend of mine today about Sam's Club. I told her I only needed three things and I wondered how busy they were. She said - "beware when you go there." She had just spent a great deal more than she planned to for the "three things" that she needed.
I told her I would only buy my three things because I'd only bring in enough cash for those three things.
She told me I was BRILLIANT. Ahhhh what a friend. I love CASH!
So true! We've been doing an all cash/envelope system since fall 2009, and it's amazing how much money you save, just by using cash. I don't even have a debit card anymore :)
ReplyDeleteSara - I went to Target the other day and used a gift card and spent more than I was planning simply because I didn't have cold hard cash.
ReplyDeleteCrazy isn't it???
I just wanted to say thanks for the encouraging comment on my blog the other day. Also, we just started the cash system and I already love it!
