Our Disney Fund 2012

Kind of a slow week to the Disney fund…

$3.16 in spare change

$10 iTunes gift card (took $10 out of our entertainment fund and spent this gift card in it’s place. See more about how I add gift cards to my fund).

$13.16 added to the Disney fund. $1018.48 saved since November 12th, 2011. My goal is $3,000. Likely going in Jan 2013.

This week was a very lucrative week for the Disney Fund.

$3.09 in spare change

$50 Landry’s Gift Card earned through MyPoints (good at both Rainforest Cafe and TREX at Downtown Disney; Took about 6 months to earn.)

$60 reimbursed from the Doctor’s office. We all ha the flu at the beginning of the month and had to all 4 go to the doctor. We have to pay a $15 per person co-pay but then the doctor’s office sends it back. So I used the grocery budget for that week to pay it (since we were so sick we didn’t go shopping much).

$113.09 added to the Disney fund. $1005.32 saved since November 12th, 2011. My goal is $3,000. Likely going in Jan 2013.

Here’s the latest deposit to the Disney fund. I think my little ones ran off with my change when I wasn’t looking.

$50 – I took $450 from the fund and turned it into $500 in gift cards at Winn Dixie. They were running a promotion where you got $5 off a $50 gift card. So I did it 10 times and ended up with $50 extra for the fund. The manager didn’t even know there was a sale on gift cards that week. I guess I am the only person in Trussville, AL that looks for them.

$10 – I got a Publix gift card in the mail. I used it to pay for my groceries last week and took $10 in cash out of the grocery budget to deposit to my fund.

$3.92 in spare change
