You sort your items into "categories" at checkout and then instruct the cashier to hit "Subtotal" after each "category" so every category is totaled out on the receipt when it prints.


that's a cool idea...i never thought of doing that! thanks, stacigh!

...your annual performance bonus comes in and rather than treating yourself to that big purchase you've been wanting for a long time, you celebrate by calculating whether you can finally live off of last month's income.

You know you're a new YNABer when you keep turning the damned thing on every 20 minutes to look at it again, because you can't believe that your life could possibly be that organised...

Cputrdoc, wait until the day when you realize that getting your buffer was a big purchase.
