I thought the 'cash envelope' thing was just for people who can't use a card.

My wife and I tried it for groceries last month, putting $400 cash in an envelope. We spent $367, which is $100 less than our usual card bill. Seeing the actual money leave made us skip a lot of impulse buys at the store. Has anyone else had a win with a method they thought was silly at first?

Yeah, seeing the actual money leave makes a huge difference. I tried the same thing with my takeout budget and it was shocking how much less I spent.

Honestly, it works with time too.
