Trying something new...
A friend recently blogged about going to all cash for spending.  Tim and I would really like to do this - we know we spend too much on the credit card.  Even though we pay it off every month, there is a lot of wasteful spending.  So, this month we are trying to make the transition to using mostly cash and tracking our credit card spending better.  For groceries, I have been putting a certain amount on a Kroger card and this seems to help with that.  Our problem comes with eating out.  Our family loves to eat out!  I know it isn't all that good for you, but it is a hard habit to break.  I like to cook - but haven't been planning as I should.  That is my main goal and project is to plan meals and actually have the food on hand to fix them.  This is something I know we need to do.  More to come...

We use a software program to track all our spending (after we enter our receipts) - but I've been thinking lately about switching to cash for groceries (baby steps!) since that's an area where I tend to over spend - or buy non-essentials and waste a lot.
we use a program to track - but the key is to check it. we have been so lazy.
