The Remember Remember NSD November Challenge

checking in with number 1NSD!
as it's my second month doing this I've revised my rules a bit.
1. I set my weekly budget for groceries, lunches, subs, entertainment travel, petrol etc.
2. I take the cash out for these things and put in envelopes - this is the 'spend'.
3. Any money used from these envelope is 'no spend'. When the money has gone, it's gone!!!
Fridays are 'big shop day' and I'll start the day with 150€. I'm carrying forward 30 from last week so I'll only need to take out 120 tommorow.
I am thinking I should put any carried forward money into my sealed pot but we are so tight this month I'll start doing this next month.Trying to keep in budget.
