My Savings Challenge Set Up For 2025

[@ayela562]

I’m going to join you for some challenges. I’m not sure what ones yet, but I plan to set up my new budget planner and goals this week so I will figure it out from there 😊

[@MsSarahJam]

Thanks Nicola. I'm going to be doing the Friday savings challenge.

Amazing!

We did the £5 challenge last year. It proved lucrative. In a year we got almost £300. The small loose change we didn’t keep a record went into a piggy bank called ‘pork’ demonstrated the look after the pennies phenomenon. Good luck and all the best for 2025.

Thank you - you too 💜

[@SaveItMell]

I'm biased because I'm doing a penny challenge too!! I started already because I emptied my change jar and already I love coloring in my different circles. It's very satisfying ☺ ☺

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Love that you’ve started it already!

Merry Christmas 🎄 xx

Hi. I bought some items from your Etsy shop and am looking forwards to using them and getting my spending under control! Thanks for the motivation ❤️

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

[@Glovesforfoxes]

Little bit to your challenge, thank you for being an inspiration

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you so much 💜💜

[@morganmorgan6715]

Morning Nicola. Happy boxing day. I'm definitely joining your £5 a week challenge. It's definitely doable. And I think I'll add the penny challenge too, as you say it's change from your purse so why not. Xx

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Great 💜

[@morganmorgan6715]

Just ordered the last of the five pound challenge cards. Looking forward to setting this up and completing it. Thanks to your inspiration Nicola x

[@janeknight3597]

The think that works best is rounding all spends up to the next pound🙂

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

It definitely adds up ☺️

[@Zena-en8ul]

​@@NicolaatTheFrugalCottageI do that with Chase, it's great for saving

[@carolepoupard2624]

Joining you on the £5 Friday, I already do the 1p challenge

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Amazing! ☺️

[@redbudgets]

I found a tin in B and M (thank you!) and can't wait to start Fiver Friday and Tenner Tuesday!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Great! 💜

[@Blethers]

I rarely get £2 coins anymore either. I checked my run where I save them recently and was disappointed with how little was in it. I might give the fiver Friday a go.

[@mjax8614]

Fiver Friday may be helpful for Christmas savings. I might do that. And doing it in cash would make my monthly accounting simpler!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Why not give it a go? ☺️

[@rickiwinter1587]

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you for your order 💜

[@zoedodd3748]

My bank does round up savings so I'm i do that on every purchase and it goes towards my car costs. Any savings challenges i would so will probs be electronic too!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Sounds like a plan ☺️

[@milisuarez-al-nashy4314]

I keep all change in a tin and I usually take it to Morrisons to get a voucher to change into notes. There is a machine in Sainsbury’s, but it’s placed too close to the tills and then I feel embarrassed as people tend to stare due to the noise that the coins make. 😩😊

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

It’s the same in the sainsburys here as well!
