This basic book has finally made it possible to track all my purchases and checks. It allowed me to do a better job managing our grocery budget, and it made it easy to track monthly and seasonal expenses. I planned a graduation party and noted each related expense on one of the lined pages in the back of the book. Each week, after totaling the daily expenses, I then itemize them in the lined section on the bottom right of each weekly page. This book has been a helpful tool for us as we try to navigate the effects of inflation on our family budget. I'm about to order two more - one for the coming year and an extra to either give away or save for the day this product inevitably disappears.
