After a couple months of struggling with some "issues" with our budget, we are finally back on track. Now we are going to finally start a new program in our home this month.
How it works:
We have a set amount each day that we work with for our meals. If we get under that amount we get to put the extra cash (cash only for this project) aside for either bulk items or for family fun activities. This is because we don't actually have family fun activities in the current budget. Everyone in the family gets to help plan our spending for our meals. We will try it for a couple of weeks and then make changes as needed.
