Yes, let's not forget Sparky, he is such a sensitive soul...with a chainsaw😂Super job.. another two completed 🎉 Loving your Christmas binder. I have just been doing little challenges from January and building up that way...I am hoping for £1,500 this year. That would see me good🎄🎅, So enjoyed watching! I love Christmas 🎁⛄

[@stefsonabudget]

lol with a chainsaw 🤣🤣. Ooh I’m excited to hear how you do this year! 🥰🌸🩷

[@mrssummersbudgets]

GM Stef, great stuffing! Congrats on finishing a few!

[@dawncunningham7092]

I save for Christmas all year but I am loving all the cute Christmas in July challenges!

[@stefsonabudget]

Me too! I have to save year round for Christmas 🤣💕🌸

[@mistyjobe7005]

Awesome progress! 🩷 Sparky is so cute 😂 That's my favorite Christmas movie too!

[@stefsonabudget]

Thank you Misty! 🥰🌸💕

[@Pamcatmom]

When my brother in law was in better health he decorated so much for Christmas that we started calling him Sparky. This is the first year in about 30 years that I started saving for Christmas early. I don’t have a lot put back yet but I’m determined to have enough by Christmas this year. May and June were hard months but July is a reset for me. I love the Christmas Vacation challenges. It’s my favorite Christmas movie. So glad you made them.

[@stefsonabudget]

Aww I love that! 🥰. I’m so excited for you. Your going to have such piece of mind with your jump in savings. I know you got this Pam! 🩷🌸🤍

[@Pamcatmom]

@@stefsonabudget thank you. You and so many other great budgeters have made such a difference.

[@gaynorferris7129]

I think Sparky has put a spark under us to get some serious money saved to have a fabulous Christmas....I too think it is the best time of year. Keep going🎄

[@Chatty-KathyBudgets]

💜💜💜 So much fun my friend 😊. Those challenges are sure adding up quickly 💜💜💜

[@stefsonabudget]

Thank you Kathy! It’s amazing how quick some of these add up isn’t it! 💕🌸🩷

[@BeccaBudgets777]

[@Miss.L.Thomas]

Hi, Steph, happy 4th! Watching as I get ready for bed.

[@stefsonabudget]

Happy 4th! ❤️🤍💙

[@KatieoftheHouse]

I think I need a Christmas binder next year so I’ll be more motivated to save for Christmas. Just adding $ to my sinking funds has been a little boring.
I agree with you about sushi 😂 but those ARE adorable!
Great work, Stef!

[@stefsonabudget]

Yes you do! So much more fun than stuffing an envelope. The challenges really help me look for ways to save more money than I may normally. That’s why I love using them so much 🩷🌸🤍

[@lifewithbobbi]

Happy Friday! I love your Christmas binder!

[@stefsonabudget]

Thank you Bobbi! 🩷🌸🤍

[@budgetingbydeenaus]

Great job with your savings 😊❤

[@chrisgilmore4591]

Yay, for finishing challenges. I’ve started watching out for Christmas deals already. We went camping over the weekend and my tent is bigger than my daughter’s family tent so I am ordering her one like mine for Christmas. Waiting to see if Amazon has a deal on it. If not, I’m buying it so, my Christmas shopping will officially have started.

[@stefsonabudget]

That’s amazing! I’m so glad you guys had a great camping trip. We’re going in two weeks. Prime days are coming up. I’ve put a few things in my cart to see if Amazon is going to have any sales for them 🌸🩷🤍

[@emmagrace7071]

[@budgetingwithT]

This year was the first year I started saving for Christmas at the beginning of the year. 2023, I started saving around July, and prior to that, I was using credit cards for Christmas. Now that I'm finally credit card debt free, I never want to do that again. I put $50 a week away. Great video and savings!

[@stefsonabudget]

So awesome! When I started cash stuffing I knew Christmas was a must all year. So much easier and less stressful 👏🏻🥰🌸

[@bargainbudgets]

Ty for sharing your blessings big hugs from Coco 🌼

[@Budgeting_with_Lee]

Great Christmas savings, I started a 52 week Christmas savings fro Janell Rae budgets to get me started for Christmas. Congrats on completing 2 challenges 💚💚

[@stefsonabudget]

That’s awesome! Excited to see how you do my friend! 👏🏻🥰🌸
