Even in this modern day of credit/debit cards, I'm still a cash spending gal. But this a habit I've obviously had for a long time. Here's a picture of my very first piggy bank:
Serious! I use to love how it was the color of a penny and shaped like a shoe. I use to really love that I needed a "key" to open the bottom. Now THAT in itself made saving money fun! This little shoe secured my babysitting money and allowance away from my sister. LOL!! Click here to read what I bought with my first "piggy bank" savings...I'm still smiling as I sit here thinking about my teenage self in that previous post!
THIS YEAR:
Welll...in our household this year, hubby was the winner!
He had $110.57 saved in change and $7.00 saved in bills. Grand Total: $117.57
I on the other hand, only saved $33.80 in change and $19.00 in bills. Grand Total: $52.80
Enough to treat treating myself to one of these:
A red Zirkel Magnetic Pin Organizer!
(Hmmmm...and I'll probably use the other $35.00 for fabric!)

Way to go with saving! Thank you so much for hosting the Piggy Bank Challenge.
ReplyDeleteBetter to have saved than not. Looking forward to seeing your fabric purchases from your savings stash.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that's interesting. Your savings this year are almost exactly the same as your savings from that first piggy bank challenge! I must say, in this age of plastic and online finances, it's really hard to save actual coins! Congrats! It's gotta be so much fun spending that "found" money.
