Budgeting on card spends

I've set myself £25 a week budget for shopping for me and my little girl - I know it can be done as I've done it before.
I'm terrible in the sense that whenever I need to buy anything I just used my card, I never ever have change on me.
Would it be worth withdrawing £100 on pay day, and just use this to cover me until the next month, or is it just a case of teaching myself not to be so savvy with my bank card?
The way I see it is, at the beginning on the month if I withdraw what I need, I will give my card to my partner or my mum, so I can't even be tempted. Is that just daft?
Was thinking with the money left over I can put in a pot or something?
