Pro tip: I thought the 'cash envelope' thing was silly until I tried it for groceries last month.

Putting $200 in an envelope made me stop buying random snacks... saved almost $40. Anyone have other simple tricks that actually work?

Honestly the envelope thing works weirdly well for takeout too. I mean idk maybe it's just me but seeing the actual money leave my hand makes me pause. Last week I had a pizza envelope and ended up making a grilled cheese instead because the cash was already set aside for Friday. Felt kind of silly but the money stayed in the envelope.

What about using cash for other stuff like gas or eating out?

Wait, @davis.gavin, you still use cash for gas?
