The document discusses various methods for staying within a budget, including the envelope method. The envelope method is a 3-step cash-based process where expenses are divided into envelopes and cash is allocated to each envelope category. Additional tips for saving money include reducing variable expenses like cable plans, finding energy savings such as using efficient light bulbs, taking advantage of grocery store sales and discounts through savings cards and coupons, and buying certain items in bulk when prices are low.
