piggy banks

i know this is kind of old school and maybe even a little silly. i do this and it always seems to work out great. you know how every day when you get home you usually have a ton of change in your pocket or purse lol.

well i have this really big 3 foot tall jar type thing and everyday when me and my husband come home we empty out the change and put it in the jar its shocking how fast it fills up, and when were running low on money we take it to the coin star and get cash, usually it will have a NICE amount of money in it.

most of you might already do this but its just an idea. everyone hates carrying around change anyways so if you can just keep it in a jar and save it up it can help you out when your running low on cash.

That is a great idea and it can add up really fast. Only problem for me is we are always having to spend out change to get by until payday. We actually have a wee little piggy bank. It's only about the size of a softball. All it has in it are a few pennies in the bottom lol. And we have had that bank for something like four years! Sad but true lol!
