Online money diary?

Hi,

Am new to the forum and am loving all the brilliant ideas on how to save/budget etc. Money seems to just trickle away, so I've just joined the shopping challenge, as I know I waste money on my many trips to the supermarket.

Apologies if this post is in the wrong section, but does anyone know if there are any online money diary websites I could use? Just think it might be easier to keep track of where my money goes and I could access it at any time during the day.

thanks in advance,
Jo

:)

    I just stick my set amount into a seperate purse on the first of the month and use that only for food.Once its gone then its gone till the next first of the month.Great way to make me use up things in my cupboards when running low on cash in hand.After all I had to work from my purse back in the early 1960s when I first got married .Not many women had bank accounts then as we never had much cash to put in them.So its really going back to OS by only using cash from my purse this way I have been doing this since last September and its worked brilliantly.Every month I have money left over and that goes straight into my family holiday fund for this August when I go away with my DD & OH and tribe for a fortnight

    That is a good one, thank you. I use Eagerlearner's budget tracker but often lose track of the individual grocery challenge items. Since this is the area I really want to concentrate on, this might be helpful to keep track of where my NSD's are:DIm forever going "grocery shopping" as its the only type of shopping I feel justified in-but it leads to SO much waste.

    Hi Jo:hello:

    Now you have had some input from the OSers, I've moved this for more responses :)

    Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Thanks:)
