Have you tried the 365 Day Money-Saving Challenge?

Saving as a family doesn’t need to be complicated. This challenge keeps it simple, fun, and totally doable — even on busy school days.

How it works

Each day, save the amount that matches the day of the year in pence.

Day 1 → 1p

Day 50 → 50p

Day 100 → £1

Day 365 → £3.65

Do it daily, weekly catch-ups, or whenever works for your family. By the end of the year, you’ll have saved £667.95 — without feeling it.

Why families love it

Small amounts that add up fast.

Easy for kids to understand and join in.

Takes seconds, no planning!

Great for holidays, Christmas, or a fun family goal.

Make it fun

Use a clear jar so kids can see their money grow.

Let children add the money or tick off a tracker.

Pick a family reward to save towards.

Miss a day? No stress. Catch up at the weekend or keep going the next day — this challenge is about building a habit, not being perfect.

Small change. Big results. One year, nearly £700 saved.
