June Through September Savings for the Children

Shame on me for being this far behind in giving an update on our savings regimen!  With much to do, both that which is necessary and that which I want to do, let me summarize the totals rather than present each of the last four months. 

We really did not need much and did very little shopping that resulted in the size savings we had seen for the first five months of the year.  Over the four months the savings totaled only a little over $175 which, once we rounded amounts up, actually totaled $180.  That $180 has resulted in $2,160 worth of benefits because we looked for gifts that multiplied as much as 12 times.  The dollars we gifted for the purchase of medicines and clothing.  With Fall and Winter perhaps coming quickly in some parts of the world, we thought warm clothing and medicines would be particularly needed. 

Less savings, but with minimal effort we feel pretty good about how we maximized that savings!
