It's January... which means it's time for making resolutions! Here's a fun idea to help you keep your resolutions and save some money at the same time (and we mean literally save money, such as stuffing your resolution jar full of cash!). Pick up jars at Dollar Tree (like our glass pint jars) for everyone in your family to help them keep their resolutions on track. Here's a few money-saving ways to keep your New Year's resolutions:
- Donate money to someone less fortunate. Every night have your family empty the change from their pockets into their jars. At the end of the year, donate the jars full of cash to a needy family or your favorite charity.
- Are you resolving to work out more? Eat healthier? Loose weight? Every time you do one of these things successfully, put $1 in your jar. In no time you will be thinner AND have the money saved to help you buy a new wardrobe.
- "Like," "ummm," "ya know?"! Do you have a "filler" phrase in your vocabulary that you say WAY too often? Every time you use one of these crutch terms, put $1 in the jar. Then, once you have finally kicked the habit, you can spend the money in the jar. Think of the MASSIVE haul you can score from a shopping spree at Dollar Tree.
- Resolving to drink coffee at home and skip the expensive coffee shop? Put the money you would have spent each day on the fancy coffee in your jar. At the end of the year, use the saved money to pay off a bill, take a vacation, buy Christmas gifts, or open a CD.
