The 52 Week Money Saving Challenge - Week #3

Welcome to Week #3 of The 52 Week Money Saving Challenge.  This week, I'm saving three dollars.  It isn't too hard to save three dollars, right?  

I hope you decide to take the challenge, because that means that by the end of the 52 weeks we will each have saved over a thousand dollars cash money.  That is a lot of moolah. The most beautiful part is that it is so darned easy to do this challenge.  You are welcome to print this chart, or get details and a free printable chart from the founder of the challenge, Stuck At Home Mom .

The 52 Week Money Saving Challenge - Let's Do This!

January marks a season of change and new beginnings.  My family budget needs help, and this plan by Stuck At Home Mom is so easy and affordable, even I can do it!

Here is the plan.  Get a mason jar or something sturdy to keep your cash in.  The first week, you save one dollar.  The second week, you save two dollars.  The third week, you save three dollars, etc.  She even gives this free printable calendar to help us keep up with it.  Pure genius!

The 52 Week Money Saving Challenge

I know lots of people who just don't save because it is hard to stick to a plan.  This plan is so easy.  Are you in?  Let's do this!  Let me know if you decide to jump on the bandwagon.  I could use some company!!

DIY Button Magnets

I was shopping for magnets to use as a teaching aid.  They were rather plain, so I decided to give them some button bling!  This simple craft can be completed in about 10 minutes.  I love buttons and magnets.  I am addicted to these little Button Magnets.  My students really like them too.

Supplies Needed

 Walmart Magnets

 Walmart Craft Buttons

The supplies are available at Walmart as an in-store item.  They are not available through Walmart's website.  The craft buttons package contains assorted sizes and colors.  The magnets have peel and stick adhesive on one side.  Choose the button sizes and colors that you like best on the magnets, then peel off the paper and stick the button onto the adhesive side of the magnet.  Voila, you are done!


Button Magnets are handy for the classroom, the fridge, or anywhere you need them really.  These are just as cute as a button!

Since I can't keep my teaching supplies in the classroom, I use an empty pill bottle for magnet storage.  This bottle holds about two dozen Button Magnets.
