I have been putting my weekly budget (in cash) in a coffee mug in the kitchen each Friday. When the money is gone, I can’t buy anything else until the following Friday. This works ok, but I have added a “just in case” extra budget for those fabulous deals that I really want to get a ton for my stockpile.
Your point of it taking a few months to see a decrease is a huge tip! As a relatively new couponer, I think that can be discouraging and having it explained is very helpful!

So when you separate out the coffee, diapers and formula, do you create a budget just for those items also? or how do you budget for those items?

  Julie – Since diapers and formula are for a season, I just determine how much I will need, since they are a necessity. But, I try really hard to use my tools I have to get those on sale and stock up as much as possible. Coffee is just something that gets bought no matter what, but again, I have certain places I find it at a rock-bottom everyday price, and it is a pretty fixed cost for us. I hope that helps!

My budgeting comes from Following Dave Ramsey course 100%. everything follows into place.
