Best answer
I have a Bella Taylor cash wallet, so my “envelopes” are slots in the wallet. I have 7 of 8 cash slots that I use. 1. Gas 2. Groceries 3. Household 4. Office Supplies 5. Beauty 6. Entertainment 7. Cushion Yes I carry all of them because I’ve been out and didn’t have the category I needed before so I’d have to use a different category and adjust when I got home. I don’t like having to do that.

Only carry left over grocery cash, gas and fun money. None of those categories have a lot so I’m fine with it

Only the ones I need (a week's worth of groceries, eating out, meds, gas, and fun). The rest is in another book at home. I don't like carrying a lot of cash

I only carry: Transportation Personal Care Groceries Household I actually do a hybrid cash/cashless system right now (trying to get used to carrying cash), so each of those envelopes has its own debit card inside as well as a tracker.

Only what I need. And if I don’t need anything, I carry “fun” of at least $10 just in case something very unexpected happens. (I’m 20 miles from town. )

I have all envelopes in my wallet. Knowing me I'll forget what I need and I'm an over packer anyway

Only take out what I think I will need, and then put the change back in.
