An Interesting Tip from another Blog

Hi. This is actually a comment made on the Hillbilly Housewife blog regarding stashing money at home... I thought it was a great idea.

Kim Says: When you can’t afford a safe: My grandmother took a clean dry mayonnaise jar, spray painted the inside of the jar creamy white, inside the jar she kept her “mad” money. This jar she kept in the dark back corner of her refrigerator, where no one ever saw it. The one thing she said was a must to go with this, was always have a real jar on mayo where everyone can see it! Depending on the color of paint, this could be a jelly jar, mustard jar, etc. I had a house fire in 2001, started in the kitchen, entire house was a total loss… but inside my melted frig, my mayo safe with my unburned money.

LOVE it! That's an awesome idea. I wonder if we could stick our passports and other such stuff in there as well?

I think if you don't have a safe, then you might as well go for it...it's got to be better than just having it out in the open, right?
