Freezer Fund Update

August 2nd, 2012 at 09:23 pm

Since I got my interest at ING, I added it to the Freezer Fund. It was a whopping 90 cents, bringing the Freezer Fund to $410.58. I'm almost to the halfway point. Still a firm believer in every little bit helping, but I sure wish that little bit was interest earned at a higher rate. I miss 4%. Heck, I miss the 7% of my childhood. I don't know if we'll ever get those rates back, but I doubt it. It sure would have been nice to earn $4 for that amount like I would have just a few years ago. Oh, well. It is what it is, and it's 90 cents more than I had last month.

I found some money while cleaning today. 26 cents. Into the coin jar it went. I also found 40 cents in the car and 2 pennies at the grocery store yesterday. If I find 22 more cents this month, which is possible, it will match what I earned last month in interest. Hmm, Baselle, I really see why you're always looking for coins on the sidewalk.

    I'm curious...are you buying a chest freezer or an upright one? I have a chest freezer and if I had to do it again, I'd buy an upright.

    I also have a chest freezer and would prefer an upright. It's very hard to organize and know what you have in it.

    NJ--Debbie, I am buying a chest freezer because it is very difficult to fit a half a beef, half a pig, 30 chickens and garden produce in an upright freezer, even the biggest one. How are you doing on the no eating out challenge?
