Thanks! I looked at my spreadsheet and since 1/1/2011 I have made $185 with online surveys. Some of that I cashed out into Amazon codes, though. It can be fussy work, but I actually like doing surveys so it is fun for me!
Today I hit Target and Walgreens. Saved $17.50 with coupons.
$1059.76/$2500... only $1440.24 to go!

Yesterday my daughter chose not to get her dance photo taken, saying I could take one of her myself. That saved us $9.50 for a 5x7 print. My 3.5 year old gave me two quarters and said it was for Disney World. And I am also adding $25 that my mom gave me as payment for something I bought for her a while back. So I am adding $35 to the envelope this morning!
$1146.09/$2500... only $1353.91 to go!

That's great that your kids are on board with the savings too!!!! Just the other day my 9 year old gave me $7 that she had gotten back at Christmas during a gift swap. She said she wanted to start her spending money fund!!
You are doing an awesome job at saving too!!!!!

I had a $10 certificate for the hardware store which was expiring today so I got a few things we needed for nothing. Love that! Also got a $5 check from Synovate and used a free fry coupon at McDonalds last night to get the kids a treat. So adding $15.99 to the fund!

This morning I am adding $17.29 from coupons and cloth bag refunds, $7.50 from using a Starbucks giftcard instead of paying cash (DH found the card in his desk, who knows how long it was sitting in there!!), and $9.50 saved by taking my own group dance photo at my daughter's recital. I tinkered with it in Photoshop and it isn't bad at all!
$1212.72/$2500... only $1287.28 to go!
*yay, I broke $1200!*

Almost half way there!!!! You are doing such a great job! I am hoping that after we buy new tires for my car and some summer clothes for my two youngest we can put a chunk of our tax refund into our fund!

I cashed in on some giftcards and birthday rewards today... Saved $10 using a Border's giftcard (and in the nick of time since the location is closing!), got a free $8.99 birthday burger at Red Robin, and got $9.56 from Quick Rewards. Also got $30 in a birthday card... So adding $58.55 to the fund. ☺
