Saving Pennies Tally

I participated in Val's Piggy Bank Savings Challenge.  Sounded good and certainly very doable.

I have lots pf piggy banks, but those are for tucking coins for the grandkids.  I thought my lock box would be a safe place, but then I reconsidered as I really do not want the worry of a lot of money in the house.

So I used my regular bank.  I already do not account for those odd dollars in checks in, or those odd 'cents' on a bill (put in the checkbook rounded up to the next dollar.  All those things add up over the year - my Christmas money or 'needs' money.  So I just didn't account for another $150 a month that was direct deposited.

So I did well, but I had the home repair of the leaking bath which caused the cealing to collapse - money from the 'pot'.  Now the car - but that is covered except some routine maintainance added which does have to come out of the 'pot'.  And I am going out to the first every AQS show in SYRACUSE NY the end of this month - need to make those vendors happy.

But I am saving for a mid-arm machine, so I will carry over my savings to Val's challenge next year - maybe that will be my Merry Christmas present to me.

See how other's did with the Challenge HERE and maybe you will join in the next one.

Sewingly Yours,
