Being retired and on fixed income, I may not be as successful as the rest of you, but I am going to try this with coins that my dh gives me, cuz they are too heavy for his pocket. 8-) I am inactive on my old blog, but one of these days I just may surprise myself and get back to it and stick to it. This is my first visit to your blog, enjoyed it and will be back.

Besides coins, this year I did my $5.00 bill save beginning January 1st. I have cashed in the coin (about $50.00). My $5 bank is at $ 360.00. I am saving for art classes/supplies/or a trip to TX. I haven't decided yet. I still have 2 1/2 months to save for either of these choices. It's amazing how fast the $5s add up.

I put all $5 bills and all $1 bills with the Federal Reserve designations B and H (my initials) into the jar. When there are enough coins to roll I do that and deposit them in my savings account. Once or twice a month I also deposit the $5 and $1 bills. It all adds up! I re-set the spreadsheet 7/1/17. As of 6/30/18 I had deposited $96 in coin and $642 in bills. That's $738!

No less than $365.51 was coaxed out. We donated $15 in nickles and dimes. Grampa would not let them take more. I deposited coins found in various quilting project boxes, drawers and pockets. I do not carry a purse, but put my driver's licence and credit card in a pocket or my bra, grab my car keys and go. Today I found $5.50 in a pocket in the laundry to start next year's savings. And, if I do not do something with all the coins on my desk soon, they may end up back in the piggy bank.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/07754244941394074550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-47868247534603373062018-07-07T12:30:25.533-06:002018-07-07T12:30:25.533-06:00Hi Val, really enjoyed joining the Piggy Bank Savi...Hi Val, really enjoyed joining the Piggy Bank Savings and sign me up for the new challenge beginning on Thursday.
