52 Week Savings Challenge - Week 1

For this first week of the 52 week savings challenge I created a notebook to use to record my progress. (Which means I pulled out a little notebook I already had & wrote the numbers 1-52 in it plus an entry about this week's savings). This week I saved the amount equal to the week of the year we are on, or $1. This I put in our trip jar which is an oatmeal box coverev & decorated by my son. We started this jar last summer after deciding our mini vacation to Tennessee was way too short and that we'd like to save so we can stay longer this summer. We throw change and occasionally cash in the jar and should be able to stay in the Smokies for more than 2 or 3 days this year with some careful planning and more saving.
