    I use a phone App called EEBA Easy Envelope Budget Aid and it has the concept of Dave Ramsey's envelope system without actually having to carry envelopes full of money around. You budget a bunch of different envelopes, grocery, eating out, bills, surprise,etc. When I get groceries I put the transaction into my grocery envelope and it tell me how much I have left for the month for groceries. It helps me stay on budget without having to save a bunch of receipts. Also, my husband and I have found taking out a little spending money each week helps us to be able to do something we want without fighting about wasting money. For example, I get out $40 a week and use it to take my sons to eat at Chick fila or get Starbucks and I don't have to feel guilty because it's my spending money. I also can save that money if I want some clothes or something big!
