Shut The Box Savings Challenge Week!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Welcome to The Winning Wallet, where we know it is never too early and never too late to start taking good care of our finances - and Welcome to Shut the Box Week! Thank you for stopping by and spending a few minutes with me.
Today, we are playing a Bonus Round of Shut The Box, a savings challenge created by @reinventingrene, modeled after the board game. This game is so fun, so unpredictable, so exciting!! While I've only played a few times, I can tell this one is quickly becoming a favorite and the savings will grow quickly. Those pesky dice!! :) I hope you enjoy today's video - it was a lot of fun to play! #shutthebox
Also, check out my Community Post for Birthday Blessings and ADD YOUR BIRTHDAY to the post!! Nita / @TheALMOSTOrganizedOwl posted a beautiful savings challenge video in which she included so many people who have birthdays in February, and she totally inspired me to create a place for everyone to add their birthdays, so we can create our own birthday blessings! Please check it out and add your bday to the list, so we can send blessings to YOU! :) Thank you Nita for the inspiration!!
Since filming this video, I've seen a few more Shut The Box videos... from @lizandless and @budgetwithmimi1812 !! If you love this game or want to learn more about it and see it in action, check out their videos too!

Love your energy!
And love how you said you didn’t want an IOU,
Then you didn’t!😅
Hope your week gets better💕
Tess, thank you so much. I didn't want an IOU because I messed one up once - thought I had pulled the money (only $4 thankfully), but I hadn't - and all my accounting was off... lol! 🤣 I fixed it last week but I still didn't want that whole mess going on! 🙃 Thank you for your kind wishes too... tomorrow is Friday, so the weekend is nearly here! 😊 Thank you so much for your kind support and have a great Thursday evening / night! 💐💐
Such a fun watch🙂

Shut the Box party! 🎉 this was so much fun, Elle! Math is always harder when you are recording 😂
Hi Dear Katie! Yes, being on film makes everything seem and feel more complicated 🤣 This morning, I stuffed some challenges that I don't film (my videos would be 3 days long) and I thought how weird it felt to not do them on camera - but they were less complicated! 😉 Thank you so much for watching - SUCH a fun game!!! Wishing you the best Friday ever in the history of Fridays 💐💐
You did great! Great savings!
Aww - thanks Ang!! :)
You made it more fun❤
Aww Dee... I'm so glad this was fun for you... challenges can be unpredictable, but that is part of the fun. Thanks so much for watching and have a great Monday! :)

I love shut the box, it doesn’t love me 😂 I played the first time and did great, I decided to play again and I’ve been getting all the big numbers 🙈 my games look like what you just got 😂
Ohhhh - yes, yes. Those big numbers can sit there making us very nervous! My very first game prior to this was big too... This game can get ya! It is so fun. I didn't want that IOU, so had to stop at the end lol! Thanks for watching and sharing your STB story! :) Happy Friday!
hey great game fellow budget queen 11:28 ❤❤
Hiiii there!! Thank you so much for tuning in today!! Enjoy your evening and Happy Friday Eve!! 💐💐
Hello I'm new here from Northern Ireland 👋 intrigued by Shut the Box so I'm gonna get stuck into your video xx
Ok that's so cool, I'm gonna get one of those. But I'm gonna laminate mine so I can use it over and over x
Hi there and thank you so much for tuning in and subscribing!! Laminating is a great idea... so helpful when we find something we really enjoy! Oh, I think you'll love STB... it's such a fun game to play! Thank you for watching and saying hello!! Enjoy your night in Ireland... so nice to meet you! :)
This game looks fun but scary 😮 I don’t think I could do it 😅
Hi Lesa!! 💖💖 It's so much fun the fear slides away.... until.... you get toward the end. Then yes - it can get tense!! 🤣 I think that's part of the fun though... never knowing exactly what is going to happen! Hope you are well and thank you so much for watching. Happy Happy Friday Eve! 😊☺
Good morning Elle🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Good morning to you Dear Fatima....!!! :) So good to see you and thank you for tuning in. Wishing you and Bella the best Thursday!!
I have it but am scared to play it. I have a feeling it’s going to take alllll my money. 😅
Denisse!!! Don't be scared! :) It's so fun, but it is unpredictable. Maybe do a practice run to get the feel for it...? Or a couple practice rounds? :) I think you'll really have fun, but yes - it can get ya! Have the best Friday... do you have Spring Break coming up? Ours is in 2 weeks and boy do we need it. This year has been something else. Take care and thanks for tuning in!

It’s been a better week for me BUT my co worker has been out she had a death in the family so all is falling back on me I’m just glad it’s not like the last 2 weeks here it was awful it’s not the work but the humans I deal with and the unnecessary attitudes 🤪 great video and I enjoyed watching you did great at this game!! 🫶🏽💐💗
Oh boy Jaclyn. Sorry to hear about your co-worker's family and the added issues at work.... I SO get it, truly. :/ Ack. Happy Almost Friday to youuuu tooo! Whew - what a week!!
