Yesterday was the birth of our sacrifice box, which is essentially just a box wrapped in fancy paper with a narrow slot big enough to accept a hundred dollar note-- although any size of note would be most welcomed too. :) Its seal is not guaranteed to be theft-proof-- only a couple of cellotape layers!--but it should work its purpose in the absence of Temptation.
Apart from the savings accounts we keep in the bank, a piggy bank in a form of a box is still a good way to keep us from spending money on our hands. It is indeed a 'sacrifice', as we challenge ourselves to start the week following every Sunday we put in our 'sacrifice', with less money in our pockets. I am looking forward to less weekday shopping from the chef. Hehehe.
In fairness to him, he was able to contribute really really well and far better than I have for last night's first sacrifice. But the important thing is we have put in whatever we had then. We hope it works for a long, long time.
