Default Christmas giving

I started a little*experiment with myself when I started my diet. I was thinking about how*much money I waste on food that is bad for me, so I started a " junk food jar ".*Everytime I was tempted to buy food that was off limits, I put the money I would have spent in that jar. Like the $5 I would have spent a Taco Bell,*had I given in to the cravings. My plan was that once I hit*each of my mini goals I would use that money to buy something special for myself. I counted it this morning and I have $57. I have decided that instead of spending on myself I am going to put all of it towards gifts for Toys for Tots. Anyone else want to join me in making our success even more satisfying?

Considering we are all over the country, our donations could make a difference. Where I live there are drop off boxes at every store, I'm sure it's like that everywhere.*We also have angel trees*at almost every store*too, with specific requests from needy children.
