You could label each section individually and keep all cash together. It'd eliminate all the envelopes everywhere. Hmmm....think I may try this. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1136387836060545382006-01-04T09:17:00.000-06:002006-01-04T09:17:00.000-06:00Ps--I think you're right about pretty planners!

The one exception is the gift envelope. Because I buy gifts throughout the year, both for birthdays and for Christmas, I try to put $30 a month in that category. Some months I just don't spend it, and it rolls over (hopefully to another month when I hit a gigantic clearance sale!).Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1136321606412622862006-01-03T14:53:00.000-06:002006-01-03T14:53:00.000-06:00Lulu, I use the same envelope for everything I mig...Lulu, I use the same envelope for everything I might buy at a Kroger or Walmart type store--all household things which need to be replenished, even down to vacuum bags. I currently budget $50 per week, or $200 per month, toward this category. Some weeks I don't spend it all, but others I might find a great sale and stock up for my pantry. It evens out in the end! Whatever doesn't get spent rolls over into the next month's envelope.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1136318788913602772006-01-03T14:06:00.000-06:002006-01-03T14:06:00.000-06:00I have a question about the envelopes.

I've tried the envelope thing before but this always trips me up.<BR/>Lu-LuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1136300097295659682006-01-03T08:54:00.000-06:002006-01-03T08:54:00.000-06:00Meredith, Thank you for the reminder that I need t...Meredith, Thank you for the reminder that I need to work on a budget and have a budget written out for my Family.Mrs.Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559346681909781752noreply@blogger.com
