You can have a limit to how much you can spend per day or week.
Or open a chequing account if you don't have one already and just use the money you put in that account.

You typically don't link your debt card to your savings account. And you can set a limit with some debt cards.

You could open up another bank account and take out a debit card with it, and then put only so much in it a month?

I have my debit card set up in what I feel is a good way.
I have a checking account and a savings. So the money I see as available is anything in my checking account. That's what I really have to spend. But say I spend more than I have available in my checking account, the money will automatically be taken from my savings to cover that purchase so I won't have to pay any fees.

Open a checking account. You can transfer some of the money from your savings, into the checking, and your debit card will ONLY TAKE FROM THE CHECKING, unless you're at an ATM, then you can take from the savings if you want to.
REMEMBER THOUGH - If you overwithdraw [take too much money] from the checking account, it'll automatically take it from your savings.
------- Incandescently empty.
