Savings Tracker for Kids

Are you a role model for your child when it comes to finances? Do they see you savings money? Do they see you tithing or donating money to charities?

I admit when it comes to money, my husband and I haven’t done a great job being role models. We speak about money. We speak about the cost of things, but they don’t see the behind the scenes. A friend and I talk about this one. She found a lot of importance in putting a check in the offering plate while my husband and I tithed to our church electronically. However, it wasn’t the kids saw us doing. It wasn’t something they could hold or touch or realized the importance (for us) of donating to our church.

The same is true of our savings. Our kids do not see us saving money because it isn’t something they can touch. That is why introducing the 52 Week Savings Plan Challenge was something new and thought provoking to our home. Saving their parents money was of course exciting to the kids but I wanted to introduce saving “their” money, especially for children who get an allowance.

Save money with this month long No Spend Challenge. Download your no spend tracker and get an bonus checklist of No-Spend Weekend Ideas printable. Who is ready to turn their spending habits into saving habits with me?

No Spend Challenge Tracker and Ideas

Did 2020 have anyone reevaluating their spending habits? I am raising my hand.

In 2020, March whipped in so quickly and stayed so long. Then March turned to April, April to May and here we are in June. We actually moved in the middle of the 2020 epidemic and our spending was unable to freeze trying to get a new home in order. We gave ourselves three months with the promise, once June came, we were going on the No Spend Challenge.

So here we are! Who is ready to tackle this 30-day No Spend Challenge with me? In addition to the 30 Day Challenge Checklist, I also have list of no spend challenge ideas for the weekend. Distractions to keep you from pulling out your wallet.

No Spend Challenge PDF and No Spend Challenge Ideas

No Spend Ideas

Does not spending money sound, well, challenge? It does for me. Honestly, it brings me anxiety. The second the word “no-spend” is spoken, I begin the “what if” pattern in my head. What if I need xyz; what if we need xyz; what if I can’t do this? As the primary spender for them home, I decided to take this 30 days at a time. As a family of seven, we decided this challenge did not include groceries, essentials, medical purchases or emergency needs. The challenge only included impulse buys, non-essentials, entertainment, and restaurants.

Weekend No Spend Challenge Ideas

A few free activities to fill your weekend (and week).

  • Visit the Park
  • Make a Goodwill Run (Take our 30-day Declutter Challenge during this time)
  • Host a Potluck Dinner
  • Have a Netflix Movie Night
  • Volunteer
  • Visit the Library
  • Complete a Puzzle
  • Have a Bonfire Night
  • Have a Game Night (See our Family Game Night Ideas)
  • Go Sightseeing In Your Home Town
  • Read a Book
  • Batch Cook Frozen Meals
  • Clean the Car
  • Go Hiking
  • Have a Scavenger Hunt (See our long list of Scavenger Hunt Ideas)
  • Make Paper Kites or Paper Airplanes
  • Learn a New Skill
  • Draw or Paint
  • Camp in your Backyard (See our Camping Hacks and Tips)
  • Have a  Picnic
  • Make Pizza
  • Visit a Free Museum (see our Museum Scavenger Hunt in our Stay-cation Spring Break Ideas)

When this is over, have you set new spending habits? Consider having a spend month (or spend week) with discretionary spend. After this month or week, repeat the process and watch the ability to control impulse buys become a natural habit. I bet you reach some savings goal like filling your savings account, paying down payments on student loans, and/or paying of credit and debit cards.

You can pick up a Debt Payment Tracker in our Busy Mom Binder while you are saving money!

Copycat Southern Tartar Sauce

Pin to Pinterest

In the south we LOVE some good Southern Tartar Sauce! Whether you’re dipping your hushpuppies in it or your fish flanks, tartar sauce is that slightly sweet and tangy dip that you’re looking for. You can slather it on a fish fillet sandwich too. However you enjoy your tartar sauce, we agree that this one is the best! Your kids will even love it for dipping their chicken strips in! Here’s a tip too, you can mix it with shredded cabbage and make coleslaw dressing, in a pinch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp finely diced Onions
  • 2 tbsp Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 1 tbsp minced Carrots
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Directions:

  1. Combine ingredients and mix well.
  2. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Amazing Copycat Chili’s Cookie Skillet – AKA BJ’s Pizookie on Frugal Coupon Living. One of our favorite cookie desserts made to perfection in a cast iron skillet.

Copycat Chili’s Cookie Skillet

Copycat Chili's Cookie Skillet - AKA Pizookie

This recipe is one our favorite desserts! We love going to Chili’s and grabbing the cookie dessert. It’s warm, cold, crunchy and creamy, it has everything you want in a sweet treat! The smell when the cookie comes out is delightful. Comfort food in a skillet. Containing a melty, crunchy cookie topped with a scoop of ice cream. Dig into it with a spoon and you won’t be disappointed! Instead of splurging on the pizookie next time you’re at Chili’s or perhaps BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, make your own at home anytime! Enjoy!

Chili’s Skillet Cookie Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

You will need a smaller cast iron skillet. I recommend this highly rated 8-inch pre-seasoned cast iron skillet with over 20,000 positive Amazon reviews! It has a handle, but does NOT come with a cast iron handle cover.


If you want one with a head resistant hand sleeve, consider this set of three cast iron skillets or this set of one preseason cast iron skillet with handle cover. Either work fine. An 8 inch round pan is fine too!

Chili’s Cookie Skillet Directions

The recipe is incredibly easy. Worth the time it takes for this tasty perfection!

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Place small skillet or 8″ round pan over low heat and melt butter.
  3. Add sugar, brown sugar, beaten egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until well blended.
  5. Add in chocolate chips and stir to evenly distribute.
  6. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool 10 minutes.
  8. Cut into slices and top with vanilla ice cream.
