Great Idea, but product not sufficient. While I've been on the envelope budgeting system for some time, it has become rather inconvenient to carry around a complete FPU pocketbook. Even with out the checkbook in there, its pretty darn large to be carrying in a coat pocket, and very inconvenient during the warmer months. This product, I had hoped, would be the perfect compromise. And, I applaud the idea. But, the finished product leaves much to be desired. For the $30 charged, I expected considerably better stitching quality & consistency. I also thought the dimensions were a bit off, with another quarter inch in height making it easier to actually SEE the labels, instead of digging through my cash to see them. I would also have preferred a couple more card/id slots instead of the sparse 4. Finally, when I'm carrying around my two weeks worth of cash, even with most of the bills in 100 denomination, this wallet does NOT want to fold flat.

Exactly what I had hoped it would be I love, love, love this wallet. I had tried using one of those small coupon type holders with multiple pockets but it didn't feel secure. I disliked juggling envelopes at the cashier. This wallet has solved those problems - It looks great, is great quality (sewn strongly) and i love the thoughtful design. If I were to design one, it would not have occurred to me to stagger the zippers so that each envelope opens from a different direction than the ones before and after - genius! This wallet has solved all the issues I was having with trying to pay cash for everything...and now I have no excuses!

Nice product but issue with labels Really appreciate the unique and innovative design and material of the product. The one sour note is the labels which are mostly pre-printed and don't match my expense categories. There are a few blank labels but not enough. There are not enough blanks or extras and one is afraid to make a mistake. It would be better to have two sheets of blanks than one sheet of pre-printed categories. I asked the seller to send blanks and she very graciously promised to send them but never followed through. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

So far so good! I just started using the envelope system with Thrifyzippers and so far, I love it! It's extremely well made, the closer works great as long as you actively press the closer (it's not like typical "velcro") but once it's pressed closed, it stays closed. Also, it's light weight! I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get control of their finances and track their spending, all while looking super cute doing it! :)

Manly envelope system I am very happy with the new wallet. It is a fun and easy way to implement a cash envelope system without the need to purchase a large portfolio wallet. There is room for improvement in the design. The labeling is done via a sticker. A clear label pocket, or some other integrated method may work better. The rear card holders are full depth, and the debit cards sink to the bottom. These could be made shallower. The overall design seems to be thin and durable and fits easily into my back pocket. Despite the improvements that can be made to the design, I highly recommend the product and Thriftyzippers
