Final Sealed Pot Total for 2013 and What's on Deck for This Weekend


I finally hauled my Sealed Pot change up to the bank.  As you can see, I organize and roll my coins as I go rather than dumping it into a container loose for a year.

Here is all I was able to collect over this past year and most of this is collected from Hubs pocket change......

I was able to make 1 more roll of $10 and 1 more roll of 50¢ between the time of that photo in November and when I got it all to the bank earlier this week.

And here is what it looked like after the trip to the bank.....


$110.50 didn't make much of a dent in my Holiday spending.

If we didn't have kids and didn't spend on them, this amount would have gone far to cover the bulk of gifts I got for Hubs at least.
I figure any little bit helps though, right?  8-)

The snowstorm has already begun here so we'll be staying put in the house today.
No errands, no shopping today and probably tomorrow too.

The perfect day to finish decorating the tree, wrapping gifts and just relaxing together.
No cooking today as we have tons of leftovers to chose from.
And a walk in the snow for the doggy and organizing my next Salvation Army donation in the garage.
I am not ruling out that "adult beverages" may be consumed today......

What's on your plan for the weekend?

Did you do the Sealed Pot challenge or that 52 Week Money Challenge this year?
How did you do on it?

My Sealed Pot Amount Revealed & the Winner!


Here is my Sealed Pot and it's contents.....





And here is the shot of all the rolls that were in that Pot, so you can get a calculator and add it all up like I did......


And if your calculator or your "fingers and toes method" added up to $117.50, you would be correct.

And someone guessed that amount EXACTLY!
Can you believe it?  I couldn't.....

And that person was......

JUDY from "When I Get Where I'm Going"!

Congratulations Judy.  8-)

As soon as I can find your mailing address here in my inbox files, I'll get a surprise box out in the post to you.
I'll show what I am sending her after she gets it or I'll let her post about it if she prefers.

And a big THANK YOU to everyone who played along!  A couple of others were pretty close too, like Carrie and Tanner.  You guys/gals are good when it comes to keeping an eye on the money.

Now I have to decide how to spend this wad of cash.
Oh, to have that sort of problem.....  ;-)
