One way I was able to save money was to simply write down what I spent, when I spent it. The first month alone I saved $1000. Plus, I realized how much money I just wasted.

Really proud of him for taking the initiative and reigning in our spending. I highly recommend cash for groceries, household expenses and also dining out. It really keeps me focused when I go through the aisles knowing I have a set amount to spend. I try to add up my tab on my cell phone. Makes me put a little extra effort into meal planning and I'm not buying as much from the "snack food" aisles. Yes, Paul really has been bitten by the budgeting bug.
