I budget myself $20 a week for incidentals like a coke to get over the afternoon slump or a quick bite to eat when I'm out doing errands and lunch. I never use my change and just break my bills i have when making these purchases. At the end of the week I have a whole bunch of coins left and sometimes a few dollars, then anything smaller than a $5 bill goes into a jar, including $1 bills. I'm not sure how much I've saved so far, but I'm planning on using this money to help pay for a new mattress and this method of saving is helping me save a little more than I would with just the pocket change, but not really missing it out of my budget because it's coming from a previously budgeted item!Cedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11363711296909673364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051323015497516306.post-37062361935768772192009-07-15T11:05:19.150-04:002009-07-15T11:05:19.150-04:00It is wonderful the tips that you have given.
