When my husband and I combined finances after getting married , we discovered that we were spending an absurd amount on groceries and dining out . But oddly , when we compared across months , we noticed that we were spending roughly the same amount per trip to the grocery store or food joint , and less trips equaled less spent overall . So we came to the solution of budgeting our trips out , rather than budgeting our dollars , with the aid of a simple homemade visual cue . We were buying groceries or meals 40 ( ! ) times per month , so we set our goal to cut that number in half .

B. They had been spending a lot of money lately .
