Great idea for cash "envelopes"

**Ceashels** · 07-10-2010, 01:02 PM

I use the DR wallet too. I gave up trying to dig coins in and out of the paper envelopes and the clear zipper pack is just too small. So I now keep a small change purse with me and when it gets to heavy it gets put in the coin wrapper.

I'm nearing the point where I want to reinforce some of the paper folds and sides with some tape so I know I'll be looking for a replacement soon. I just need to keep it small enough to fit in my bum bag.

I use one of these too! I got mine at the Dollar General for $1 and it's the best to keep track of the money. I put all the receipts in the front pocket and then transfer them to another spot at the end of the month.

I put all my change in a little change purse. I always try to pay correct change when I can and carry many small bills so things don't get too difficult at the store.

I'll have to remember this for when my DR envelope wallets wear out.

My change gets tossed in the change

... For now at least. Still working on a budget that will work for us.

Great idea. I realised i have a similar little file thing at home. Im going to try using it from this pay for my envelope system. I find if i keep the money in my purse, i spend it on random stuff and therefore run out of $$.

I like this idea.
