Budgeting and leaving the credit card at home

As a student, budgeting is a kind of safety belt so I don't use money for useless items. Each month, bills, groceries shopping are organized. I'll always shop with the money I have in my purse (leaving my credit card at home), and will think twice before buying an "extra". Cash is the easiest way to buy only what I need. Stick to your shopping list, avoid temptation.I also compare the prices between the different stores and put every month money on a saving account.
