yeah, the thing about “healthy food” is that it can be expensive. my biggest spending is on organic vegetables. but i sorta think it’s a worthwhile expenditure… if i’m gonna spend too much money on food, let it be good food I guess. at least I’m not blowing my cash on frozen pizzas and beers (well, at least the pizza part is true).

I feel as though youre talking about me.
while it is healthy stuff I need to ORGANIZE and REIGN IN the spending.

The cash budget is FASCINATING. It was scary at first - I didn’t realize how thoughtlessly I spend money on so many needless things! I learned that lesson fast. Now if I go out for a walk I leave my cash at home so I have no excuse to pick up a coffee or whatever while I’m out.

Good luck with your new plan. I think I need to try a weekly cash budget for food (and I do mean cash, not debit or credit cards), I think that would really help me to get spend less money.
