Sealed pot 2015
All year long I throw all my change into this “sealed pot”. It is my easy way to boost my Christmas savings. I don’t miss the coins and it makes such a big difference.
This is the fourth year that I am doing this. I got the idea from SFT and I love it.
Last year’s netted me $310.30.
2013 $445.37
2012 $106
Last year’s pot weighed 5.6 lbs and the year before was 8.8 lbs so it will be interesting to see how much this pot will net. I will not find out until the first Saturday in December.
2.5 weeks to add a few more coins. 🙂
