Red and I are always thinking of fun ways to save money. We are currently on the $5.00 savings plan which means every time we get a $5.00 bill in change we have to put it in our hiding place. We did this for 4 months before fall break in October and had an amazing $700.00 saved for our vacation.

Here is another one we decided to also start for our Christmas spending money for next year.

1. Great thread

2. I like this five dollar bill saving idea I'm going to try it!

3. For me saving is about budgeting ahead of time. For example, I do my best to never spend more than $2 per meal. So I take advantage of sales and only enjoy certain foods when they're on sale.

4. I also saved my change.
