Piggy Bank Challenge

Val reminded me it was time to count our Piggy Bank Challenge savings. My jar wasn't nearly as full as it was last time. I was working then and was out spending money more often! At least I remembered to take a picture before I emptied it this time:


My jar sits on top of my embroidery floss cabinet where I can see it every day. Once I emptied it, I took the change to our credit union and they gave me dollars for it:


Grand total was :
$145.74
two Canadian dimes
one car wash token

The teller that cashed me out kindly donated a penny to round me up to 75 cents...which is now back in the jar for next year.

Wow, I have $145 to spend on my hobbies! I'm going to buy fabric! You can join in for next year! Val will be posting a sign up today on her blog: Val's Quilting Studio

How much could you save?

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Way to go on saving your coins! I think you did great. I hope you will show a picture of the fabrics you pick up with your piggy bank challenge 'earnings'. Enjoy your weekend!

Woo! All the fabrics will be a fun addition to your stash! I save coins too; we have a giant crayon that they go in haha. I dunno that it's stash money though!
