And I have about 1/2 as many transactions as I normally do this month! I'm always complaining because I go through check registers so quickly. And if I keep this up maybe this one will last me the entire box of checks!

I just haven't been shopping as many times and when I do, I try to do it all in one trip!

Anyone else notice this?

Yep. I haven't used my card much at all, except maybe gas. The few things I have bought I've used "found" money so the only thing coming out of my account right now is bills. Its nice to see.

I do use the online banking -- love it -- but I still keep my regular check recorder as well. Makes it a little more real to me?

me too! I've made fewer purchases in general. It's easier to save money when I have fewer times I'm exposed to impulse buys.

I have deinitely notice fewer transactions this month. I have cut out most of my "impulse" sending (have had a couple of small slips).
