I'm wondering though, if anyone else saves up their spends in order to do them all on one day. Is that cheating? For example, I need to order a couple of things online for a DIY project we're doing. I could have ordered them today. But I know I've got to buy milk tomorrow so I'm waiting to order them on the same day. Does anyone else do this?

What I've started doing recently,because I have a weekly grocery budget plus monthly budgets for just about everything else,is to count days as nsds even when I buy something,as long as it's within my various budgets.Hope that makes sense.

For example,yesterday I had a haircut,but I have a budget for this plus the tip.I also bought cat litter,but I also have a budget for this.So it was an nsd.

Every week,whatever is left over from the budget from the week before goes in a tin.It can add up over the weeks.If I use this money,I don't count it as a spend.

You could set up a milk pot/jar,where you put the money for buying milk aside for the coming week.It means you can still claim an nsd and get your milk.

I do something similar to marmite except I have one budget for the week. Everything I spend comes out of that money first and I don't count it a spendy day. If that budget is gone then anything else is a spend.
I usually (when I'm not on holiday :mad:) have money left over and this goes back into the bank to go towards clearing my debt (or sometimes just making my bank account look a little healthier )

Hope that makes sense.
