loose change

i am with you. i take all of my change and put it in two jars. one says shoe shopping and the other says girls nite out. and when either is full i take it to my bank get my money and either buy shoes or go out for cocktails with the girls

I try to keep anything uner a doller bill. We put it in a gallon sized jug, My son loves to put all the change he can find in there lol. We save it and then he gets to pick out a special toy with it. The rest is for a lunch date for our family, or a trip to the zoo. Maybe sometime we will just save it up for a vaccation or something hehe.

We have a jar that we put change in. I love to go to yard sales in the summer. The jar of change is perfect for my yard saling. Sometimes I will roll the coins if the jar is still full at the end of the summer. I have also been known to roll the money if we age going on vacation for a week and putting that money toward the cost of gas. At the start of this winter we rolled everything in the jar and ended up with $160.00. We are going to Tennessee this July so that money will come in handy. The jar is about half full now so I will have plenty for yard saling in the next month.

I save all my coin change and throw it in a jar, like you. I call it our emergency fund. That change jar has helped us out several times when hubby hasn't sold any cars and we are very low on cash. We save our soda cans for emergencies the same way.

I have always saved my change for my daughter, ever since she was born! She has a several piggy banks with change...but now I keep the quarters for the junk toy and candy machines so my kids can get smething every now and them. But when I clean out my purse I split everything between my two kids, they love it!!

My BF and I have a change jar by the door. We drop change off every day, but sometimes the jar gets raided for quarters. People get pretty desperate around laundry day, lol! It gets cashed in about every 6 months as well, or whenever it's full. I think the most we've gotten was $23. I usually go to the coinstar machine in our grocery store instead of rolling it. For those of you who haven't used it, it's a change counting machine that takes a small percentage of your money as a fee for counting the change. I just do not have the patience to roll up all those coins. Good job finding such an easy way to save a little bit of money! I almost never use change to pay for something, it always collects in my purse, pockets, etc.

A long time ago when my grown children were very young, I didn't have money to save. I had to spend most of the change that I got, but I set aside a jar and kept just the dimes I got in it for a year. All other change was spent, but the dimes went into the jar. At the end of the year, this jar of dimes bought many of my children's Christmas presents. I was thankful to have managed to save these dimes. Now I save most of my change. I don't save it for long periods of time like I did back then, but I usually save it up until I have enough to do something special with my family. We might go out to eat at a nice restaurant or just go shopping. Whatever we do, we make a fun day of it.

I save my loose change. I have a huge jar I am in the process of trying to fill. We might cash it in for our vacation in July. I have saved quite a bit of money that way.

Hubby and I save our change in a jar til it's time to go on vacation. There's usually enough to have an extra $50-$100 in fun money for our trip depending on how long between vacations, lol.
