Question

If I do my grocery shopping online every Sunday, would it be easier to count it as a bill instead of using an envelope? Now I have to deposit cash back in my account to replenish what I used.  

Answer 1

I do mine every other week. I shop online for everything I need on Friday but I just hold it in my online basket just so I know roughly what my total will be. I allow $300 every 2 weeks for food, so if my groceries are $260, I leave that amount in my checking account then take out the remaining $40 cash to put in my grocery envelope Incase I need to make a small grocery purchase until the next payday. I then place the actual grocery order on Saturday to pick up on Sunday

Answer 2

I order online. I think it helps save money because you dont go in. You can also put things bad if you come to close to your budget.  

Answer 3

Groceries and gas stay in my checking. I just monitor it and budget for it. I am not ALL cash
