Store it was purchased at (Target) 2. Category (Toiletries) 3. Notes (2 bottles of shampoo and conditioner) Then of course by payment method (Credit Card, Cash, Bank, whatever) and whether it was cleared or not. I know where the money went... I have columns for:

It is expesive 10-13 a month. But it hooks up to all my credit cards, banks, auto loans (yes i have 2 car payments :O), mortgage and investment accounts. I like it because all inflows and outflows automatically post to the software. i just drag and drop to the folders. I can see how much I funded and budgeted and used for that category. Basically, I like it because a lazy clown like me can actually budget and maybe stick to a budget. lol. I use mvelopes.com or should say I just strated using it. It is expesive 10-13 a month.

I found one service on the web that does a pretty good job of simplifying the cell phone part of my budget. It is an auditing service that costs about $1 and it saved me over $40. I think the average savings on their website is somewhere around $250 a year! I have tried a similar method and it works fairly well, but sometimes I get overwhelmed by how labor intensive it can be.
