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.

I have a bad habit of keeping the whole thing together. I really need to stop 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. )

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

Question on how or where do you keep your big cash ( sinking founds ) I use Wells Fargo ( Not my favorite but is what we use) So right now what I have been doing is getting all the sinking found cash and put it in my envelopes and then in a small safe.

EDITED TO ADD: In the few days it has taken for admin to approve posting this (thank you for all your hard work!), there have been SEVERAL posts in budgeting groups about homes being burglarized after women got their cash from the bank or used their cash at the grocery store.
