Vent: I thought the envelope system was for broke college kids, then I tried it for 8 weeks
I always figured stuffing cash into labeled envelopes was a gimmick people used until they got their act together, but after running it for two months I actually spend less at the grocery store because I can see the money leaving. Last Tuesday at the Kroger on Elm I put back a $9 bag of cashews because the food envelope was down to $14 and I still needed milk and eggs. Anyone else find that physical cash makes you a tighter shopper than a debit card ever did?

Try keeping a small buffer in the envelope so a low week doesn't leave you short.
