- *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.
yes that's a great idea!
Great idea!
Yes that is exactly what I did!!
thats what i am doing
Sounds good to me
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.
Omg I remember keeping those and storing things in them such a good idea!
I'm old so have prescription medicine bottles that I keep coins in. I keep 1 just for quarters, most of us have some, again no extra money
My dad did this there was 4 of us kids and we each got a tube when he got paid n he kept each one after we finished them and if he needed more tube he try n get one of us to want mini m&ms instead of a different candy when we went for groceries lol
I had a heart transplant so I have plenty of pill bottles to fill with quarters perfect size. Use at car wash
Wait this is brilliant. Thank you for sharing!
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!!!
Yes it really helps!
I do this with my calculator on my phone. Also what I like about the phone you can look at your history of all the equations you did that day just incase you mess up and you forgot your last total
Ok how do you do that? Is that on the iphone? because I don't like using my calculator on my phone because sometimes I accidentally clear everything and lose track of my calculations@@dinahfisher
I have an Android, same calculator. Mine has a clock symbol to see the calculation history.
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.
So true! So happy to hear you enjoyed this video!
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 ❤
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.
Your photo album idea is genius. I think I'll do that
@@ameliajoylynvave4482 Awesome 🙂
I love this idea. Thanks
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!
Yes totally! That would make them a lot more fun!
The washi tape idea is awesome!
Our dollar tree has washing tape too!
What a great idea!! 🎉
I thought the same thing.
Way to go!!! Very helpful alternatives. When the goal is to save money it makes no sense to spend to get there.
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.!
Our bank has a coin star type machine that doesn’t charge for account holders. Super nice!
That is awesome!
Mine does too so I have been using it since they put them in. I was rolling them.
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 💕💕
Aww thank you so much! I do love all of my fancy budget items but I agree that it is important to show that you don't have to have all of that to start the cash envelope system!
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
I mace mine also using the ends of old envelopes from mail I get. Much easier.
Oh that's interesting!
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 😊❤👏🏽
You are so welcome! So happy you enjoyed this video!
So relatable! Great to use budget ideas to substitute for the expensive ones. That’s the point right???? Saving money!!! Good job sharing ideas!
Yes! Thank you!
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.
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.
That's awesome! Love all the good finds you can get at dollar tree!
Loved this video ❤ I’m just starting my budgeting journey and am trying to stay out of the Etsy rabbit hole 😂
Some banks will give you coin wrappers for free.
I've used those small file folders for years. Paper envelopes work just as well. They can be clipped together.
I really like how you think! You're so clever and creative. I use what I have to make what I need.
When I saw you open the box of paper envelopes, I realized you could let that be a 100 envelope box and put a number on each envelope, and then just stuff the paper envelopes... If you buy a box of 100 envelopes.
You are so, SO ingenious!!!
Aww thanks so much for watching! Happy you enjoyed this video!
Desiree..Thank you soooo much for All the Great 💡 to help US saving newbies ( with no extra money). Start our Challenges..!! ❤❤
You are so welcome!
I first started out using the coupon filer and let me tell you. I saved alot of money in that dollar tree filer.
Oh nice! that little file folder is so handy!
Love your video & ideas!
I have some extra tips for you in case they may help. I used these when I first started out. 1) use what you have at home. I used stickers, crayons, colored paper or washie tape to decorate my plain envelopes. 2) use the envelopes that come in the mail for bills that you don’t use and decorate them with stickers & markers. 3) create a small budget saving challenge by using 1 or 2 dice. Put that number in your envelope. It adds up! 4) some budget community folks offer free saving challenges. You just have to print them.
Hope some of these help! Great job! 😊
Those are all great! This video is focused on Dollar Tree..but if I ever did a "at home" affordable budget video those would definitely be options.
I get my coin wraps free from the bank! Great tips 😊
Yes! I just found this out🤗
Thank you so much for showing that idea with the envelope. Because that's what I wanted to use. Because this is all new to me and everything is so cute. You just want to buy buy buy. And you're supposed to be saving, so thank you so much for the idea.
WoW you're so creative. These are really good and affordable ideas. 💕🤗
Thank you! 😊
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!
Those coin ones would be great for the kids to start doing this! That's such a great itea with the garage sale stickers. Thank you!!
They are!
Fun inexpensive way to save! 😊
It really is!
These are all great ideas. Love the 100 envelope challenge one and the one with the regular envelopes. Will definitely be doing those. Also love how you laminated the challenge sheet.
Yay! Thank you!
the coupon separator is what i used when i started to use the cash envelope system. highly reccomended!
That's awesome! Glad to hear it works great!
My bank has a coin machine in the corner and you use it and take it to the teller and they just add it to your account so I absolutely love that feature about my Bank when paying with cash I always use bills and save my change and then going at the end of the month and turn my change in
That's amazing! I wish I had that at my bank it would make things a million times easier
Some great inexpensive ideas for beginner budgeters Desiree! TFS
Yes! Thanks for watching!
I definitely go to dollar tree for saving supplies...i dont see the need to spend more when you trying to save.great video btw...some of thes savings videos make u feel u need the cute fancy envelopes and planners to save.
So true! I love all the cute stuff too but definitely don't need to have them to save which is good to see
I love collecting and rolling coins. Its soothing for me!
I think so too!
I love the DIY items that you share on your channel! I fell into that Etsy buying issue and ended up spending tons of money on things either I used for a short amount of time or things I’ve never gotten around to using! I can see where people can fall into the Etsy Buying situation, and just buying either too much or buying things they don’t need or buying things just because of how nice they look! You’re absolutely right those envelopes take a ton of time to put together, and I love the fact that you showed us how to do those in another video and a step-by-step process! Definitely agree with you. There are much cheaper items out there on the market that people can do or they can even use the free version of things, such as canvas to make their own savings challenges, and things of that sort of nature.
So happy you are enjoying these videos!
You have lots of good ideas inexpensively. I like that you are showing that you don't have to spend a lot of you don't have it to get started.😜🤓👍🏾
Yes totally! I think this is the best way to start out and then save for all the fancy things!
Absolutely great ideas I wish I saw this when I started out instead of buying all unnecessary things what money savers ! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Yes I'm glad I saw this because I was spending way too much trying to make money not be super broke lol
I love your ideas! I started stuffing using cardstock, washi tape, and fake laminate (tape) with $5 Below markers. 🤣
That's awesome! Love that there are so many cheap ways to save!
Wow! Such great ideas and easily accessible and customizable! TFS!!
The best affordable versions!!! Awesome ideas
Glad you like them!
Great vid. Wish I had seen it before I went on a couple of spending sprees!
I love the cash envelope system. I've been doing it for a couple of years now. These are great and affordable ways to get started. Awesome video! 💕🤗💕
That is awesome!
Love this! Thank you for sharing! I get the box of envelopes with the seal and i seal it close, fold them in half and cut and thats how i got my 100 envelopes to fit in my box
That's a great idea!
Thank you so much for this great saving ideas. Have a beautiful blessed day 🫶🏼💗😻
You are so welcome!
Great instructional video. These kinds of videos are so good.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this Amazing Budget friendly video! I love how you showed how to create this budgeting system using products from the dollar store and making it work so nicely. I seriously Love how you used the envelopes and tabs to add to your budgeting binder. Truly Excellent ideas for ppl starting out as myself or on a budget! Thank you for sharing these videos with us Girl!! I truly appreciate You! 💕😊
Thank you for this helpful video for beginners in a cheap, cute, helpful way.
Budgeting doesn't have to be an expensive affair. Spending a lot of money to save makes no sense. You can always build up once you're in the position to do so.
I made my box envelopes the same way, only I stapled the sides. I used old extra card stock. I also used the garage sale price stickers to create my own savings challenges. I used scratch off stickers as well.
Yes exactly! That’s why I wanted to share some affordable ideas 🤗
I love these ideas! Especially the envelope one. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
So many great ideas for someone with a low budget. So practical and easy to make. Thanks you much Desiree 💕💕💕
Love this video! Thank you so much! I’m very seriously considering starting a budgeting journey!! ❤
You should! I'm loving it!
Those jot divider tabs are A+. Don't sleep on those. I like them better than the Avery brand one ones. They are thicker and take all pens types better❤
That's good to know thanks!
Great video and thank you for good DIY ideas. I liked the 100 envelope challenge.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing these money saving ideas! ❤
Thank you for watching!

Great ideas! Thank you

great ideas for the saving challenge, loved the themed paper and white dots idea.
That’s really a great idea, I did the same system about 2 month. Very functional and budget friendly
It really is!
Very creative and affordable ideas. Thank you for sharing. I have used the small white envelopes for cash stuffing before but never thought to cut the top off and punch them for my cash binder.
Incredible and fun ideas. Im not creative at all but really appreciate people that are. Thank you.
Aww thanks so much!
This was the first of your videos I’ve seen and you shared some very good ideas! Loved it! I just subscribed and can’t wait to see more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea to start off with out spending alot of money. Looking forward to making my budget envelopes.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the savings challenge idea with the dots!!
Thanks!
You did an awesome job with this video!
I bought one of those small files...blue and white clear too. And a few of the other items from dollar tree last year so I can start using them for this year.
That's awesome!
I've been missing out on office supplies.at the dollar tree!!excellent tips.
This was a really good video and I look forward to using some of these ideas. Thank you so much.
Thank you for these great ideas. Have a great day!
Omgggg! My first RUclips video was showing this 100 envelope Dollar Tree process lol because I’m in the beginning stages of cash stuffings! Love this!
Also! I’m totally going to use the tabbed envelopes!
Yay! That's awesome! Hope you are able to take some of these ideas to help get you started
This is great! You have saved me a bundle. Now I can save while actually saving
Yay! So happy to hear that
Great video !! This was so helpful & full of great ideas. Thanks !!
These were great ideas that I plan on using. 🎉🎉🎉
What great ideas, thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This video is so helpful, Desiree. Thank you so much! I was making my shopping list for Walmart and Dollar Tree while watching. I can't wait to try your systems.
Oh nice! Hope you were able to find everything on your list
@Happy2planwithDesiree I was! It's not cute but it's functional. 😁
@@imjaime100 cute is in eye of beholder for starts and use your imagination to "do plastic surgery " on items. Example; if have markers already, draw picts on item, I got a canister past xmas filled w/ candy and I use it to save change for yr ,
Thank you! I’m excited to start the envelope challenge box
Yay! so happy to hear that!
Desiree these are such fun ideas!!! I LOVE the 100 Envelopes challenge, and using the mailing envelopes with the Jot labels. And HOW CUTE is the cardstock for the savings challenges!? Such creative ideas, I love them all. And I've been on a Dollar Tree ban this month, so you can bet once August 1st rolls around I'm going to do a restock of my DT stationery supplies so I can get goin on some of these lol. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Thank you so much!
this video literally fell from heaven for me haha
This was very creative. Thank you.
Omg! Girl, great ideas. New subscriber. Thank you so much for all of these ideas.
Thanks for subbing!
I had no idea this was a movement! I started doing cash only spending back in 1999 when Suze Orman suggested it on TV. She said to take mailing envelopes. That’s what I still do! I only stuff envelopes that I’ll use in the near future: groceries, home supplies, HBA, clothing, splurges, etc. Everything else stays in the bank. I have automatic savings transfers into my savings each month. No need to spend to save. But, you do a great job keeping the costs down. Good luck in your journey!!
Creative and cost effective ideas for budgeting, thank you. I may try creating a few for my teenagers!
Yay! Happy to hear that!
Great ideas and imma use a few of them. Thank you! ❤
Yay! Happy to hear that!
Love all your creative ideas. Thanks for the video.
You are so welcome!
Awesome! Now that's budget friendly.
Happy you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed your video, lots of useful tips I will be using as I am making a cash budgeting and savings challenges binder set up for my oldest. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
You could even use the index cards for dividing just add a label.
Love the white sticker idea, you could put what ever if it changes
These are great ideas. I think I am going to make some of my own savings challenges.
New to your channel, loved all your ideas. Can't wait to get started on a budget. I work at the Dollar Tree, now I'll be looking at items in a different way. 😉 I thought your video was also a wonderful asmr. Made me feel very relaxed. Thank you
I will be sharing
Oh nice! You will be able to see all the good stuff before it sells out!
Thank you for these great ideas. Take care!
Thanks Desiree for the post. I purchased too much planner and budgeting supplies. I learned simple and few items are best for me.
Yes sometimes that's the best place to start!
Nice, relatable, and well presented video!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely great ideas
Awesome ideas!!🎉. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I love this!! I was looking at the little box with envelopes on Amazon $39. I'm using you idea. You have a new fan. Me!!❤❤
Love all of your ideas. Thanks
