Last Week I asked about introducing budgeting to kids... the spend - give - save bank came up. So I searched the internet for it and it was $22.00 x
3 (4) kids =) I just couldn't justify almost $90 plus shipping to teach them how to budget ;)
So what could I do on my own - this is what we came up with =)
Some throw away gladware - $9 for 11 of them!

So we got out our markers and pencils and some labels and wrote on each of them =)And my hubby cut a hole on the top!
One says Faith Baptist Church for our 10% Tithe
One says our Banks Name for our savings accounts
One says the child's name (their spending money)

The finished products - and bonus they stack so nice on top of each other =)

You have some great ideas.
I have done the whole budgeting thing with the older girls. It is a lot of work. :)

Wonderful idea to teach them to budget and in such a frugal way. Thanks for sharing! =)
That is a great idea - doesn't the see-through tempt the kids? LOL
