Do you save your change?

I have a metal box that I put all of my change in. I only use it if I need the money that I put in it. Last time there was 9 dollars in it and it was mostly pennies.

I do!! Every penny counts to us. We put everything in our jars and when I feel like I have enough to make rolls. I do that then put them in the bank account, either savings or checking.

I always do that until now. I always save my change and when it reach reasonable amount I change it to bigger amount.

Yep! I had $400 after six months.

I usually spend my change at garage sales.

i go to da bank every weekend n then drop my money into my account.....that's how i do my savings!!

My sister and I are saving our change and when summer comes next year, we are going away for a week and leaving our husbands at home!

I used to back when I used cash to buy stuff. Every day I would buy stuff from vending machines or at the convenience store and when I got home the change would go in a little dish. It is amazing how it can add up. There were a few times I dumped the dish because I need money and found almost $10 in there. We rarely ever use cash anymore, though. We buy everything using our debit card. The last time I went through all of our change I divided it into 4 jars (one for each of our three children and one for me and my husband). There was about $36 in each jar. That was a lot of change. We ended up using almost all of the change in our jar for a road trip (used it for the toll road). After we moved I used a lot of the quarters from the kids' jars to do laundry (they had to have clean clothes). But then my husband let his 14 year old nephew stay a week with him while I was out of town and after his nephew left he noticed the 3 jars were missing. Either this boy or one of the kids he met here (and let into my house) stole the kids' piggy banks. There was at least $25 in each jar. Since then the kids have had no piggy banks. We don't get enough change anymore to save any and I use all the quarters for laundry.

Nope... But it seems to be a good idea...

Oh yes. Mostly dimes and quarters. Really adds up for a rainy day.

quink yoy obviously don`t have kids they take everything in my purse all the time

No,I donot save change.

Yes I do. It adds up very quick. When I get a lot, I take it to Kroger and they will give you bills for it.

At this juncture in my life, I am unable to save anything much less change, because all my money is used the pay the bills and groceries at the beginning of the month, I use any quarters I can get from returning my empty cans for my laundry, I use my dimes for busfare and I use my nickels and roll up my pennies when I run out of quarters and dimes. This is the reason I'm here to try to make xtra cash, so I'm so glad you asked this question.

yes i do... i have a container to put all my coins and when it is full, i will go to the bank to change it... :-)

My husband has a gumball machinge in which you need coins (accepts all)in order to get the gum. I take the money from that and put it into a jar and we save it for vacations.

yea, I save my change in a big pickel jar. Pennies are going to put me through college. ( LOL, i wish)

yes,it's fun and productive

I have several jars or containers of pennies, but nickels and anything larger tend to get spent eventually. THey do accumulate, but I use them for stamps, parking meters, etc.

I do save coins. It really helps in time of need. Sometimes, I get surprised with how much I've saved.
