Gifts on the Sly

This is a challenge I gave myself back in November.  On a quest to adjust my spending plan to reach some goals, I decided to challenge myself to purchase all birthday gifts in 2012 with "found" money.  This "found" money consists of loose change and free gift cards.  Since the inception of this challenge, I've covered 3 of the 8 birthdays on the calendar.  


As of this morning, this account had a balance of $60.36.  Since my change jar was getting full, I decided to take a count. $53.36 added to the total.  


New Gifts on the Sly account balance:  $113.72


Even if this didn't increase, I could make it work.
