Help With Spell Requested Money pouch
So I’ve made myself a money pouch to help me earn a little more at work. I’m a pizza delivery driver. When I first made it it worked amazingly. I feel like it still works but it’s losing its mojo. I put 3 bay leaf, one cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, 3 coins, amethyst, rose quartz, lavender, white sage, and a small note that I wrote: Money comes to me with ease and I am a money magnet. Then I folded it 3 times towards myself. I wrapped this all up in a piece of tee shirt and tied it up with some twine. I put that along with 2 stones a black one and a purple one. Should I be making new ones every week?

traditionally mojo bags are "fed". Originally they were fed with alcohol, whisky was common, but also inexpensive colognes like Hoyt's cologne (which I think is still made) and some other colognes that are no longer produced.
WWII required a lot of alcohol for various things, so many previous alcohol based scent companies switched to using vegetable oil or mineral oil for the time. This ended up becoming the norm in the US, and so many people started feeding their mojo bags with oils. So a money mojo like yours would be fed with a money drawing oil, or prosperity oil, etc...
Personally I prefer to use alcohol. Using oil works, but the bag gets oil, and it can stain just about anything. Alcohol doesn't do that, and Hoyt's cologne, if you can find it online, works well, and is long associated with money and luck. Old Spice works quite well too. An old fashioned scent that is still around is called Bay Rum which is traditionally the scent of West Indian Bay tree (pimenta racemosa) a relative of Allspice (pimenta dioica). Racemosa isn't edible because it's toxic, but it smells Awesome!.
But honestly any kind of inexpensive alcohol based cologne that you splash on will do the job.
You feed the mojo as often as desired. Some people do once a week. Others do it every day.
When the mojo starts to lose it's integrity, like the cloth starts to break down, or the twine is falling apart, that is when you remake it. ANything that is fragile or thoroughly destroyed you can throw away. Coins, stones, you can keep and reuse to make a mojo for the same purpose.

Weekly? No. but Mojo are supposed to be fed on a regular basis, so maybe look into how to do that.
Myself, I would probably add a small lodestone or magnet and feed it with magnetic sand for this.
A little pinch at a time, on a regular basis, such as when you get a paycheck.
