Christian Moms in Debt (and getting out!): Great Deals at Target!

The Change Jar

Several months ago I began to put all of my spare change in an old opaque pitcher. I had tried saving change in clear glass jars but I found that the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" was true. If I could see those shiny quarters, I would use them. With the change out of sight, up on the top of an old fashioned free-standing kitchen pantry, the change stays there. It's actually my first attempt to not spend every bit of money in my wallet. This jar has a purpose: Christmas. But the mere fact that I am saving money and watching it grow gives me tangible satisfaction. I encourage you to do the same. Let's save for that rainy day, Christmas, or whatever!

About the Author

I am the proud mother of four great kids and wife to the most patient man on earth. Over the course of the last seven years, I have gotten us into a large amount of debt through bad habits, unwise choices, and circumstances beyond our control. I decided to share my struggle to pay it all back with other moms, knowing that there are others out there in the same predicament. I had enough of worrying about how we are going to pay the bills, send kids to college, have money for retirement while I played chicken with our checking account. Desiring a better way of life, I started this journey to becoming debt free one step at a time.

Great Deals at Target!

I was browsing through the children's department today at our local Target, and found a whole section of clothes, shorts and tanks, slashed to $1.75 each! These were not on the normal sale racks, but were where regularly priced clothing would be found. I bought some for next summer. You may want to see if your local Target is doing the same thing!
