My tip is to treat cravings like a child throwing a temper. Ignore it and it will stop. After awhile, they eventually go away.  Also use straws. I don't know how many straws I went through, but they work.

Thus far, with 2 weeks @ $35 per week, that would be $70!! So for 4 weeks, I'm seeing $140.00, RIGHT?? I don't think my Hubby wants me to mess with the bank account. I'll call them right now!!

Candy,

I'm not very good at math myself, but you originally stated that you saved $35.00/month.

Did you mean $35.00/week?  If you were spending $35.00/week on cigarettes as of your forever quit, then yes, your savings are $140.00/month.

Hope that helps.  I can see why your Hubby doesn't want you messing with the bank accounts.  ; )

Have called the bank, and they are starting to take $135.00 out of our checking account monthly. I will surprise Hubby and pay personal property and VA taxes next year. Love to see his face when I surprise him monetarily!! That's $1620!! I love it!! Merry Christmas next year!!
