You need a "kinda, sorta" answer- LOL! DH and I have a CC that we pay in full each month and 95% of our expenses go on the CC. The CC gives us cash back and is an easy way to track. When I get the bill I do figure out how much was spent at the grocery store, misc. household, gas, home repair, etc. The problem is the "WalMart" and Target" type stores aren't broken out into "gifts, household, clothing" and other catagories we use. I have the best of intentions of keeping track, but then I don't.

We carry very little cash and the checks are easy to track which is usually just donations to church, Cub Scout activities and school lunches for DS.

So while I did answer "yes", because I track every month when the CC bill comes it, it DEFINITELY needs improvement and I just haven't made the commitment to "just do it" yet...

Noooo.... but I really should! It would eliminate the "where did that money go so fast" problem.

DBF and I total up our grocery bill for the month, but that's it. I need to start carrying a notepad in my purse again.
