Giveaway: Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs Cash Envelope System or Coupon Organizer

by Emilie on January 25, 2012

If you have been following along with my budgeting series or have just been following my blog for awhile, you know that we are huge fans of Dave Ramsey and his “Envelope System”. We pay cash for everything except our fixed expenses (mortgage, utilities, car insurance). I promise you, it would be significantly more fun to pay cash if it was coming out of something adorable and fabulous. Don’t get me wrong, my accordion folder from Staples is totally functional, but it’s not very pretty.

Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs has created a cash envelope system specifically for this purpose. Each set has 10 tab-topped envelopes and she will create custom categories based on your selections. She has several different designs and is constantly adding more to her Etsy shop.

Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs has generously offered one reader a cash envelope system of your choice! No better way to start your budgeting journey (or just make it prettier) than with one of Kelleigh’s envelope systems. Even if you don’t use the envelope system, you could use one of these for your coupons. I carry something similar (but way less cute) in my purse with all my store shopping trips planned out.

TO ENTER (REQUIRED):
Please check out Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs Etsy site and tell us your favorite set of envelopes in her shop.
