Spent 4 months tracking every coffee in a $1 notebook, now my wife does it too and our Friday treat fund is at $23
I used to just swipe my card at the drive thru and hope for the best, but after seeing $68 vanish in one week back in March I started writing every cup in a dollar store notebook, and now my wife and I do a Friday coffee date with whatever the jar has left instead of guessing, so how do you all handle the small stuff that adds up without making it feel like a chore?
The $68 in one week thing hit close to home, I did the same math on my drive thru habit last month and just stared at the receipt. Something about a $1 notebook makes it less scary than an app, too. That Friday jar thing is really cute, hope the fund keeps growing.
