Do you do the same thing? Maybe try it for a pay period and see where that leads you. You may be able to deduct from and add too categories that you're just not spending the allotted amounts in.

I eat the same food and I am not starving I use the same transportation. Also I have a blog where I try to teach people how to manage their personal business and budgets. <a href="http://www.iwebsws.com" rel="nofollow">Business Management Tips</a> It's brand new. By the way your blog is pretty nice I really liked. I will subscribe to your RSS feed. Keep posting good content. Regards.

I got tired of forgetting all the coupons I was clipping when I went to the store, so I started keeping my money in my coupon organizer. It does help to remember to use them.

I guess its time to reset and start fresh on Monday. Bluntmoney – Yes that does make sense the whole budget isn’t gone but the contest is. I guess its time to reset and start fresh on Monday.

Sorry to hear it but agree your budget isn't blown if you can save the overrun by pinching from another category before the end of the week. Oops!

Once I have more control over my own spending habits I was planning on switching to a more general weekly and monthly budget. Initially though I want to instill the habit of spending less and regaining control over all aspects of my budgeting.
