Warning: I used a cash envelope for groceries and a separate jar for gas. The envelope saved me $80 last month.
The envelope had a strict $300 limit for food. The gas jar was just a 'use it when it's there' thing. I blew through the gas money in two weeks but stuck to the grocery budget easy. Anyone else find that having a physical limit for each category is the only way it works?

Wow, I was totally against cash systems but your results are so convincing. That physical limit is a game changer for real.

Physical limit? Try losing your wallet once.

Remember that time I left my card at a bar after a few drinks? Woke up to like eight pending charges for pizza all over the city, lmao. Took three days to get the bank to cancel them.
