Hi everyone! I am here with a New Year’s tip for you. Another blog, SmartSchoolhouse, wrote about The Penny Challenge. She even has a cool free printable available. Click here.
You save pennies every day for a year. On day one, you save one, day two, you save two- you get the idea. By the end of the year, you will have $667.95! Unfortunately, I don’t know where to get that many pennies from. I think my folks will notice their missing change if I take that much.
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
That is really a neat idea, how the pennies grow into dollars…a lot of dollars that way!
But um…no kidding about where to find them all. MOL!
MOL! 🙂
Wow, you could buy a lot of cat treats with that many pennies!
I could 🙂
While the idea is smashing, where does one put that many pennies and they would be ever so heavy… Currently, all my pennies and other copper coins go into a smaller jar that, once filled, gets donated to our local English Book Exchange here in France.
That is sweet of you to donate.
Gee – never thought about it but you would have a pile of pennies after a year of saving them that way. Brilliant.
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. XO
I’ve thought about doing this a few times, until you realised that in december you have all the £3… whatevers each day, meaning you’re having to save £20 a week in the most expensive month! Haha.
Yes, it would be expensive.
Think of all the treats you could buy with that. On day 100 you could have a dollar note which would be much easier to put in your furry pocket!
Good idea 🙂 XO
That is one good tip, Penny. We have lots of pennies so we need to start counting them. Have a terrific day.
Thank you. We hope you had a good day too. XO
I think I’ll look around for some pennies Penny!
Good luck 🙂
I suppose when you get to day 10 you can throw in a dime. Day 25 you can put a quarter in and day 300 you can write an IOU.
Good idea 🙂
An excellent and fun way to save up a tidy sum, thanks, Penny!
You’re welcome 🙂
That would be fun to do. But you’re right, where would you get that many pennies?
Thank you 🙂
This is a great idea! We save all change but mostly pennies and quarters. It adds up. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
That would be a lot of pennies!! We have a spare change cup and when it’s full, the grandkids get a treat with the money. But, it’s no where close to $660+!
That is sweet of you.
Great tip! Mom sometimes finds shiny pennies. She’s heard that, like cardinals, that’s a sign from a loved one in Heaven.
The Florida Furkids
I have heard that too which is why I love to find pennies. XO
What a great tip! But we don’t have any pennies…after keeping loose change for a thousand years, our mom cashed them in at one of those coin machines. She didn’t share, either. 🙁
How mean of her not to share- she could have bought some treats. XO
That’s a lot of pennies at the end of the year. Nice way to save though.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Happy Tuesday. My best to your peeps. ♥
Thank you. The peeps send their best. XO
That is a super idea! And the savings are quite a lot!
Yes, they are 🙂
Penny,
Amen to that wait till you see our jar of money we found during 2018
Hugs Cecilia
We saw it- good job 🙂 XO
What a pawsome idea ! Purrs
Thank you. XO
LOL – Another great tip and very useful for buying more treats!
Thank you 🙂
I’m already dreaming of what I could use that money on, Penny!
Me too 🙂
penny…..may bee grammie can give ewe sum penneez one day, then dad another, N mom de next, that way itz knot sew obvee uz !! yur lookin mitee gorgeouz, thatz a for sure ~~ ☺☺♥♥
That is a good idea. I do have them wrapped around my little paw. XO
That is a great challenge. Mom says it would be a good savings lesson for the grands.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Yes, it would.
What a fun idea! We did a similar thing with dollars once, but I think it was a weekly thing. All I know is I kept stealing the money out and never did finish it! LOL
LOL! 🙂
That’s really cool! Pennies are definitely plentiful but that could get difficult every day.
Yes, especially later in the year.
Wow, you could buy a lot of catnip with all those saved pennies.
We sure could 🙂
Great idea! I wish that I could do that but I will have to settle with saving my change at the end of each day. It really adds up too.
That is a good idea 🙂
TBT has bowls of coins sitting on the bottom shelf of a bookcase. We could just take them all if we knew what ta do with them.
They could buy treats. 🙂
Ellen,
Tell Penny to keep her nose to the ground. No, I mean that literally because nearly every time I’m out, I will spot change on the ground. Usually, it’s a penny but I’ve seen nickles, dimes, and quarters. One time I spotted a $5 laying in a puddle of water and another time a $20 on the mall floor. The only money I retrieved was the $20 because it was a time we were really scraping to get by because DH was out of work and we had three small children. Every penny really counted!
God wanted you to find that $20 if you needed it. XO
That sounds like fun, Penny. I am going to tell CH when he wakes up and we are going to do that very thing and give the money to the local cat rescue… perfect!
Thank you. That is a wonderful idea. XO
This is a clever idea. I would donate the money at the end of the year to a charity.
That is a sweet idea.
I’d rather just keep it in the bank. ~grin~ Be well!
Good idea 🙂
Penny, that’s a fantastic tip! Have you asked your Grammie if she can spot you a couple thousand pennies? The kitties here are tempted to ask their grandma for some pennies so that they can save up for lots of yummy treats by the end of the year. Purrs!
Thank you. Good idea 🙂
That would be a lot of pennies, and I wouldn’t want to have to carry them to the bank. Maybe you could just save a penny a day for the whole year.
Good idea 🙂
Hmmmmm Not sure where that math came from Penny, but we think mommy might notice ifin we took that much money. MOL Altho’, mommy says Shad used to steal green papers every chance she got. MOL Mommy found a whole stash of money when they moved after she went to heaven. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Shad was a clever girl, but we knew that she was. XO
Charlee: “You could try looking for pennies in the washing machine. Dada never empties change out of his pockets and it always ends up in there.”
Chaplin: “I think that means he’s a money launderer!”
That is a good idea except our Dad is not a money launderer. 🙂
