It helps me keep my spending in check and means I don't forget anything! I tend to start shopping in September haha, so it helps. I use an app on my phone so I have it with me at all times, makes life so easy!<br />www.kittyramblesalot.comKitty Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160062056865435941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370070932206896473.post-79624009646625918162015-11-10T10:27:42.322+00:002015-11-10T10:27:42.322+00:00These are great tips!
