Fun Way of Saving for Treats

I've read a lot of articles lately about saving for Christmas etc

So I thought I would share with you this fantastic tip that my Mum does

It works well for me too

And even I don't miss the money I save!!!!

My Mum has a pot for each of her grandchildren

Everytime she has been out shopping, she goes through her coins and the higher value coins, here in the UK that would be the £2, £1 and 50p she checks the minted date on each coin.

Any coins that were minted on the year of the birth of one of her grandchildren, she puts in that grandchild's pot

My Mum takes great pleasure from this, she quickly gets each pot "rattling"

Then when it comes to birthdays/Christmas or even those special treats, she takes that childs pot with her and uses the money from there!

I have started doing it with my children and I am amazed how quickly, I can save up some money

Its great fun too, my boys love to empty my purse with me and check which of the coins are "theirs"

Try it, it works for me
