ABC News: Paper or Plastic? Family Saves With Cash

A couple of observations from having lived this lifestyle the past four years:

1) The Farhats only did it for a month or so:  True benefits emerge after 3-4 months, when your new lower-spending habits become "natural."

2) The time issue noted in the article comes from inexperience. As noted above, once you're in the new habit set, you rearrange activities and tasks and actually start saving time, partly because you're not shopping as much.
