Today is the last day of the Grow Your Fund challenge. If you have participated this month, you must comment on this post to be eligible to win 1 of the 4 $25 prizes.

I have also decided to suspend this posting thru the holidays. We’ll start back January 1st with our New Years Resolutions!

Grow Your Fund is a daily post that gives you a chance to win prizes by checking in on all the various challenges you are participating in. You can choose to participate in one, two or even all of the challenges giving you even more opportunities to Grow Your Fund!

The Challenges

No Dining Out: The concept is simple, lower your family’s dining out bill and add the money you save to your fund.

Minniemizing for the Mouse: Get in shape for your trip to Disney by walking at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The average person walks 8 or more miles a day at Disney World. Your feet will thank you!
Not going to Disney? Don’t worry. You can participate too. Just commit to working out at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week!

Budget Challenge: Can your family stay on budget this month for groceries, entertainment, dining, etc? Do you think you could even challenge yourself not to spend a dime 5 days this month? Be sure to report on your spending vs your budget every day. The goal is to be able to add the extra money saved at the end of the month to your fund!
*If you haven’t set a budget yet, you might want to check out this post.

Decluttering Challenge: Is your stuff starting to overtake your house? Do you feel like your kids room is full of too much junk and not enough fun? If so, I challenge you to find a new home for just 25 items a day for the next 30 days. This could be 25 articles of clothing, 25 books you no longer read, 25 toys your kids ignore. Have a box for items to donations, a box for items to sell and throw the rest away! At the end of the challenge, have a yard sale and add the earnings to your fund!

The prizes

At the end of each month, I will pick FOUR winners who will each receive $25 to add to their fund. Look for the winners to be announced on the 3rd of each month.

How to enter

Leave a comment with the title of the challenges it is for. You can participate in one, two, three or even all four challenges. There will be one winner per challenge, and winners can win multiple times! It’s all done by using Random.org, so if your number comes up and you are eligible, you win! In order to be eligible to win, you must actively participate in the challenge for at least FIVE calendar days.

Andrea sent a link to a picture from Ross Matthews’ blog (copyrighted so I’m linking you to it).

We have a Halloween tradition we call The Great Pumpkin tradition.

After I take the kid’s Trick or Treating and they fill up their pumpkin, we will dump out all the candy and sort it by favorites. Then they pick out 10 pieces of their favorites and the rest goes back in the pumpkin and we put it on the back porch. During the night, the Great Pumpkin comes and takes all their candy and leaves them prizes in return. Emily LOVES this tradition and I love that they don’t spend days/weeks begging for Halloween candy.

A friend of mine has the tooth fairy visit on Halloween and exchange the candy for fun toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Do you have any Halloween traditions like this?
