I have been terrible this week about writing everything down and had to scramble to dig through my wallet to find receipts for everything. Up to this point I have been just separating cash into different areas of my wallet, but I think I need to use actual envelopes and tuck the receipts inside so that I can keep a better record of it all. All in all, not a bad week. I highlighted a few things that weren't really planned. I really need to quit taking my kids shopping with me! It always costs me more.
