I've found a creative money saving challenge online that might be fun for others to try as well.

All you need is a jar/savings account and a pack of 52 playing cards. Each week you or your children can draw one card. The number or the amount it's eqaul to is how much you put into your jar or savings account every week.

Here is the original post about the challenge.
It comes with the cheat sheet of the card amounts.
home made home card deck saving challenge

If you'd like to join just simply post and draw a card.
Feel free to post your weekly amount/progress/challenges/motivation.

You will all get a number so we can see how much we've saved as a group.

Good luck guys.

This is something very different! I am going to have a proper read as I quickly skimmed as short of time, it also looks like until after christmas i might have just half a deck of cards!!

Moonbean

Aha I've got two card decks so I've got no excuse. I'm going to see how much I can save until Christmas then start again maybe.

Hi,
I'd like to join with you, read the link to original thread, are you following that ? or are you just taking the number from the card & putting that amount by ?

Lastly how did you get to figure of £33.00 to go into your bank ?

I guess by drawing a ten of clubs, using pounds not dollars.

Hi! Thank you for joining.
I'm going by the list in the original blog post... only doing it in pounds not dollars.
I can create the list again using pounds if it is easier? then post it here so you can all see
rather then going to a different site each time?

Anyone can join, Westie983!

I will have to wait until next month to start this properly.
I'm a little bit tight for money right now thanks to an expensive phone bill
:eek:

Good luck everyone!!
