I really liked the idea of keeping money in the soil of a fake plant, and I’m sure I am going to try this method of keeping money in a safe place. I hope it works! Thanks “Frugal DAD”

Same idea as carrying a $5 in a pocket ready to hand, so if someone threatening approaches you for a handout, you show them the money and toss it at an angle and MOVE. “Mugger money.”

I have 2 gun safes for that exact reason. One is somewhat hidden but most would find it on the first pass. There is less than $500 in firearms in it. The second you’d need a diving rod to find.

Here’s a thought. My father in law is a cop, and he said that when burglars break into a house, one of the main things they look for is cash. Most of the time, they just knock things over, trashing the place until they find some. His suggestion was this. Hide most of it in a clever hiding place, like the ones listed in this article. Then take about $100 in various smaller denominations, and put it on top of the fridge in a cookie jar or something similar. That way, the criminal will find that cash fairly quickly (traditional hiding spot) think that’s all there is, and leave without tearing your house to pieces looking for another $500 – 1000.

Lots of useful tips here, and enough “general” ideas for you to form new hiding places of your own. I have a small “savings account” at home that I just started a week ago. It involves putting back any $5 bill I happen to get as change or when cashing a check at the bank. I now have a new hiding place that will be in effect by 5:30pm this evening because of this thread. The new hiding place will allow for “growth” as the savings account grows.

For those without the fire~proof safes, here you go:

Teenagers are a very good resource for learning new hiding places. Ratty old pair of tennis shoes in the back of the closet, under your other shoes? Nasty looking gym bag with some clean, old clothes in it… either one is a great place.

For the organized domestic engineer: Stacks of towels in your linen closet – put two in the back, on the bottom of the stack that you know you won’t use. Place bag of $$ there. Same with bed sheets. Keep those twin sheets that your child outgrew, and put them on the bottom of the stack in the back of the linen closet.

Tape a ziploc bag to the underside of a lower cabinet shelf, the underside of your keyboard tray, under a bathroom cabinet… you get the idea.

Thanks for the post!

Because that’s the first place they’ll look… O.O I mean, if you were a robber, a wallet seems like a fairly straight forward place to find money! Right?

The best place to hide money ( i think ) is a marker.
1. Take the bottom cap of a marker off.
2. Then take the ink out and put in the money.
3. Put the lid on, (put the tool you used in a SAFE PLACE were you wont forget.) if you forget I suggest finding a tool simular to the one you used, or if you can break it BREAK IT.
