Kids Yearly Savings Jar – 1 Penny at a Time!
Teaching kids to save their money can be hard. Heck convincing myself I need to save money seems nearly impossible sometimes. That’s why I decided to try something new with my kids this year.

I chose a nice big one since we will be adding lots of coins in (because that’s the type of money my kids have). You can get a jar like mine HERE. Next you will want to print a label for your jar.

What not to buy at Costco (Plus what you SHOULD buy and at what price)!
I have shopped at Costco for years. However when I started couponing 6 years ago I began to realize that not everything is a “good” deal at Costco.
