Cash Diet

Eric and I have decided to put ourselves on a cash diet! So, basically we just use cash to buy things of everyday life, instead of our debit card. It seems to be working very well! We still pay our bills online, leaving the money needed for that in our account and then take the extra cash out and live off of that until the next payday. The point of it all is to, of course, try to save as much as possible! It has helped us to be so much more aware of the money we actually have and has helped us not buy unnecessary things. I know for us, we have a chronic problem of overspending and we were fed up with it! We are not master budgeters, so this is one simple way we can try to save and do better with our finances. Hopefully we can do better! Anyone have any other good suggestions?
