You’ve decided to start the cash envelope budget. You’ve done all your research, and you’re ready to go. There’s just one problem: Now that you’re hunting for cash envelopes, where do you look?
Here are all the places I look when I need new envelopes and some tips to keep in mind.
- Reuse old envelopes.
- Old coupons or business cards.
- Online retailers like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay.
- Target dollar bins (the ones near the front of the store).
- Office supply stores like Staples and Office Depot/OfficeMax.
- Craft stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby (especially during their half-off sales).
- Discount stores like Dollar General and Dollar Tree (check out the craft section).
