[Ima saver]

I started the challenge in Jan. with $20. anytime, I save money, I add it to a cash box. I use coupons and my store card, then add what I saved to my challenge money. If you sell something, add that money. When I stay home and don't use gas, I add $1. When I walk a mile, I add$1. Garage sales, add that money. Many sell on e bay.I get a rebate check from my credit card and I add that. I asked for a cash discount from a building supply place and I have received 2 large checks this year.
I budget $160 for my electric bill, I add what I don't spend that month, to my challenge money.
Anything that you can do to save money and put it away (real money, not just on paper) counts.
The only thing I don't count is my normal savings that I do already and interest that I get on my money market accounts.
