shhh . just between you and me k? lol
I really really hate writing things down for my weekly spending out of my jars.
I have my budget per week and my overall budget.
I have my categories: groceries, gas, spending, clothing and gifts, entertainment.
I never go over my weekly set amount.
But I really, really really hate writing down each expenditure...ex every grocery purchase.
I was really good at it when I first started the jars in 2008 but the novelty is long gone. I do try every now and again and it is a fantastic way of seeing where the money goes and how frequent you spend it.
for a girl who likes lists and notes and to do checklists, it surprises me

I still look forward to it - it feels so good to write things down sort of as proof I guess that I'm doing a good job. Perhaps for you it has become second nature - as you say you never go over budget so it has become a habit rather than a new practise. I can't wait until I am at that stage - and I WILL get there:)
As long as you don't go over, who cares? You've probably been doing this so long, you buy the same things. Don't worry, your secret is safe with nme!:)!
Maybe it's the writing and adding that annoys you
It does to me. I'd rather just type it into a sheet and let it calculate it up for me. If I had to WRITE and ADD.. gah forget it.
You have to do what makes you happy! If you have been keeping track since 2008, you have got it down to a science now!!
I promise I wont breathe a word. Shhhhhhhh
I'm with Sharon - as long as you are using the cash in the jars, who cares how you use it... if you use grocery $ to go out to dinner & don't need to dip somewhere else to get your grocery $... its all good ;)
