Dollar Tree Cash Envelope System Ideas & DIYs | Beginner Cash Envelopes | Budget Friendly

**Edit to this video** I know you can ask your bank for coin wrappers and get them for free...just found this out a couple of weeks ago. So check with your bank to see if they offer this as well!** In this video I am sharing some items I found at Dollar Tree that are super affordable and can be used in the cash envelope system.

You can take a box of regular envelopes and seal them and cut them in half and use them for the 100 envelopes.

Girl you are speaking my language. As a person who publishes Budget Videos, this is a constant message. If you have lots of money, spend it, but if you are trying to get out of debt or save for the future, nothing fancy is needed. Great job finding all these budget friendly goodies. I also make most of my stuff but that is because as a long-time paper crafter, I have all the tools.

[CharlotteRKO]

Loved this. This is more realistic for people with a low budget. You shouldn’t have to spend a fortune buying supplies to start saving so I really love these budget friendly ideas ❤

[tabithaellis]

Taking a calculator to the grocery store is SUCH A GOOD TIP for preventing impluse buys and keeping track of your money to stay on budget!!!

For my quarters I use the mini m&m container, the plastic ones you get at check out. The regular size will hold $20 while the small one holds $10. My mom used to do it to keep change in the car when we had to pay tolls and I still use it today.

Way to go!!! Very helpful alternatives. When the goal is to save money it makes no sense to spend to get there.

Washi tapes as well could work for making the index cards envelopes! Most of us journalers probably have a stash to use up. And it decorates them. Such great tips for starting off cheaper!

All great ideas to save and not spend to save, if that makes sense lol
Made all my own when i first started 3 yrs ago, and still use most of them today.
My favorite hack is taking photo albums and putting money in each slot. You can personalize it for your very own amounts you desire, and once its complete, restart as many time as you like.

You have one of THE BEST beginner budgeter videos there is out there. You even gave me ideas and I have been doing it for a year. Bravo.!

[happyinharned]

I took a pack of 50 envelopes, cut them in half and numbered them ¹ to 100. I used a box like that...but you can use any small box and decorate to up

Our bank has a coin star type machine that doesn’t charge for account holders. Super nice!

[sallyheath]

Such an amazing video and so refreshing to see a budgeter actually saving you money instead of flashing a ton of accessories that would use up all the sinking funds you intended to put in them!
I have just bought a few accessories on Temu before I saw this, but I’ll for sure be using the 100 envelope challenge method you showed.
I’m a new subscriber and I love your channel. Keep it up 💕💕

Hi Desiree! This was an awesome video. Thank so much for providing affordable options for cash stuffing. I shop at Dollar Tree frequently and never thought of these alternatives for cash stuffing. I’m relatively new at this budgeting process and I am excited to try some of these options. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your advice on how to DIY on a budget 😊❤👏🏽

[Ruth_Rises]

Loved this video ❤ I’m just starting my budgeting journey and am trying to stay out of the Etsy rabbit hole 😂

[mariannedressler]

So relatable! Great to use budget ideas to substitute for the expensive ones. That’s the point right???? Saving money!!! Good job sharing ideas!

[RustyRoosterLife]

I use my coin stash at the self checkout when I'm buying groceries. It can be time consuming but saves a trip to the bank!

[rezenaenendu]

I mace mine also using the ends of old envelopes from mail I get. Much easier.

[oivgdrm]

If you seal the envelope and cut it in half, it is the perfect size for a folded up bill, AND that box is enough for the 100 challenge.

[SeriouslySaving]

Omg yes dollar tree is my best friend lol. When I first started stuffing I used the coupon accordion their calculator and a small dollar tree notebook. Worked great for a beginner.

[sproof]

I get my coin wraps free from the bank! Great tips 😊
