$5 Spot Savings

Remember earlier in the yr when I blogged about my 2 money savings plans. The one being that every time I had a $5 bill I stashed it for a large purchase at the end of the year? Well, looks like the end of the year is here. We've have decided to use $240 in $5 bills we've saved to purchase a pool for the back yard. Nothing fancy, just 15x48 but a pool none the less. I'm also going to be using $170 or $175 in $5 bills to renew my zoo pass in June some time. That's pretty much going to wipe out our $5 spot savings but these are two large purchases for our family that will offer us cheap fun. :)
