I order cheaply when I eat out (usually only once a week), and always eat on-campus when I can (don't want to waste that meal plan!). I set myself a limit of $40-$50 a month (small, I know), and only carry cash with me (I only take my checkbook and debit card if I need to stop at the drugstore to pick up a prescription for my inhaler, because even with insurance, it sets me back by about $36). I never use an ATM machine because all the fees add up, so I use the cash back option when purchasing something from my debit card. Granted, I have a job/internship, but at $8 an hour with 10 hours a week, it's really not that much. Finally, and this is the important one, as soon as I use a debit card or check, I write down the amount and then back it up on Microsoft Money. Once a month, I check it against my bank account online. So far, it's worked for me, so stay away from those vending machines! :) As a sophmore attending college in the small town of Staunton, Virginia, where the mall really only consists of a Dillards and a Wal-Mart, I do understand bugeting (all college students are strapped for money).

Can't wait to compare results in another couple of weeks!

I spent a semester in NYC last year, and let's just say the charge card bills were NOT pretty. With all of the shopping and the food, and everything else NYC has to offer, it's hard not to spend spend spend. Since I'm starting law school in NYC next year, this is nice to know.
