I use to do this years ago and stopped, why I don't know. But I am back at it and plan on sticking to it. Tomorrow I will plan my dinner for a month and only buy those items on the grocery list.

    Tracking expenses is an important part of understanding our overall financial picture. I see that the "checkbook method" can also be used for tracking credit card expenses for those of us who use a cc (to get miles or rewards in my case). Thanks for sharing.

    Thank for providing that link! I'm going to try one of those. The one I use now is my own, but I slide from it often. Good luck!

    Thanks for the link Amber.

    It is important to monitor and control the expenditures according to financial needs and it can only be done when we are thoroughly tracking our spending.
