It is so easy to overspend when you go to the store. You will remember a few items that you need, or you see a good sale and decide to make that extra purchase. But it is these little extras that will add up and can cost you so much. If you struggle to stick with the apartment you set when you moved into the apartment, then it is time to take some drastic measures to turn off the spending and make sure that you only spend what you originally planned on.

A good way to make this happen is to only take the amount of cash that you will need at the time. Before you head to the store, you need to figure out how much the item you would like to buy will cost, and then only take that amount with you, but in cash. You can even go a bit further and leave the debit card at home. This will take the temptation away so that you are not going to spend more than you should. Even the debit card is going to be a temptation so that can be left far behind as well.

Spending cash is a great way to keep you on the budget that you need. You can see how much you are spending in real time, rather than going over and then just using the card for it. If you do not have enough cash on hand to pay for the item, then it needs to go back on the shelf instead. It may be hard, and you will need to spend some extra time calculating the cost of things as you go through the store, but it is going to help you stick with the budget and not spend more than you need.

If you work hard to stick to a shopping plan that you make ahead of time and you ensure that you do not bring any extra money along on the trip, it is harder to make some of those impulse buys that you want. Cash is powerful and when you run out, you have nothing left to spend. That is why so many people stick with the cash system to reach their goals.
