Cashing Up The Pig

The piggy bank is full again - for the second time this year so far. The total is $79. Added to April's total of $85.95 gives us $164.95 saved in loose change.

I love savings that can happen almost effortlessly. The money has been deposited into the bank and will be used towards special food & treats for Christmas.

Now to start the process again! How are your savings going?

Feeding the Pig

This is my piggy bank. I was given him as a gift for my 18th birthday from a friend. He is now 20 years old - I am not :-(

Every time I shop with cash and get change back ie. 5c, 10c, 20c, & 50c I keep it aside to save in my piggy bank when I get home. I find it's such an effortless way to save. From January 1st to mid April '09 I saved $85.95. I only empty him when I can't fit anything else in, and I am getting close to full again.

This weeks total for "feeding the pig" is $4.55.
