droid ap for budgeting/tracking expenses

I'm horrible about tracking my money, I end up spending $3-4 here and there, and don't realize what I have to pay and what's coming out when.
I made a spreadsheet based on each payday and what I need to pay, that seems to help, but as I pay something and erase it form the spreadsheet it subtracts that debit, then screws up the balance, so it's not a perfect system.
Anyone have any good budget forms?
thanks!

The best thing I have found for tracking my spending is using my debit card only. I never carry cash. Daily I can view where my money has gone thru online banking.
Mint.com
I use Mint.com on my droid (also links to mint.com website). You can input all of your accounts (checking, savings, loans, credit cards, investments, ect) and it keeps track of everything. You can set up your monthly budget, it will send you alerts when you go over budget or if your account balance is too low. It also has a tool for savings goals, where you can input a goal and it will show you how much to save to achieve the goal, and then link to your savings to track goal progress.
I have a spreadsheet. It's old fashioned, but it works. :)
