Val is now taking sign-ups for the next Piggy Bank Savings Challenge. I have taken part over the last couple of years and it is amazing how much can be saved by just throwing loose change in a container.
Here is my "piggy bank" of choice:
It is a plastic Coke bank that I have had for years. At some point I would love to see how much I could save if I filled the entire thing. . . .but I don't see that happening any time soon. LOL
Growing up my parents had one of our old riding toys, a Huckleberry Hound, that they had cut into to create a bank. . . . .
They saved up their coin in that thing for years. . . . .and finally a couple of years ago they dumped in out and rolled up what was collected. . . . it was mostly pennies, but, if I remember correctly, I think there was over $1,000 in it!
Now I know that I may not get anywhere near that amount in the next year, but it will be fun to see how much I can accumulate.
In the past I have used my funds to buy quilt-y stuff or used it for vacations. This year I am thinking that I may want to see if I can save enough to get a video camera. I am thinking it might be fun to start a YouTube channel. At least that is what I am thinking now. . . .who knows what I might be thinking about next year at this time?
Are you going to join us?
In peace and pieces,
Sherry
