I used to take the money saved and put it in a box until I had enough to buy myself something! It was a great way to see how my savings rewarded me!

That is so awesome Dana. Congrats! You will never go back now:) I consider my coupons "my money".

My daughter is currently in NZ on holiday. In fact just yesterday she wrote saying she was currently in Bay of Plenty, which I thought sounded like the Garden of Eden! She checked out the volcano White Island and said she's going sky diving today. I'm quite nervous http://100percentpure.wordpress.com/

Fern, I may have to do that when the rebate checks arrive.
Susan E. Apr 7, 2008, 8:02am EDT
excellent savings trip!
I like Fern's tip too, and I may start doing that myself.
