Keep the change!

I always save change, I now have a coffee canister, and the last time I counted it, it was $100.00. I'm going to continue to let it build. I once save over $1000.00, in change. I cashed that in and opened a bank account with it.

I just keep my change in my left pocket and use it as fare money. Before, I tried to save some amount every day and I would put the bigger coins in but I was never able to keep it up so I just keep it in my pocket and when it gets heavy I spend it.

good day.. . I use to have a piggy bank when I was younger. I collect coins and it turns out, that today they worth more than there monetary value. They were antiques and each one values 200 times it'd numeral. I'm glad that I kept those change.

i will spend it all and replace the use of notes to coins!!! that is what i am doing now actually.... lol...

I don't have a piggy bank but I do have few jars I keep changes in... Every morning, I empty out my pocket from previous day, or night, & put changes in these jars before starting a day... Most I've ever cashed in was $720... It went to my vacation money...

I have 2 banks for change. I seperate it into pennies and silver change. It's for what I call my "mad money", which means that I use it when I need to and that's it. Saving for the future sounds crazy to me. I believe in living today and letting our future generations learn to do the same.

we save all our change in a huge glass vase i've had forever. although most of our change doesn't ever seem to make it home though. we always spend it or give it to the kids to put in their piggy banks. that is where most of it goes. i'm sure the kids have a bundle lol. i guess if we had that much we would put it in the bank to save up for vacation.

I would take myself out for pizza!

I have a jar that I put spare change into and then I try to save it for vacation in the summer or for Christmas in the summer time. I would like to have enough this year to buy my husband a really nice gift. He always buys me nice gifts and I never seem to get him anything as nice as he buys me.

I usually save it for a rainy day. I usually have a jar or a cup or somewhere to keep the said change. I then take it to a coinstar machine. My credit union even has one now. I know they take a percentage of it, but I am usually just so happy to get my 7,9 or 11 dollars back that it is a good thing for me to do.

I have a plastic change bucket in my bedroom and I throw all my lose change into it. The last time I counted it there was 30 something there in dollars. I want to let it build more then I will take it down and have it put into my 9 year old son's saveings account I opened for him a little over a year ago. I have a seperate saveings and checking account for myself as well. But I don't need the extra money so he get's it all. He loves it he tells me everything he is going to buy it's cute. But yes saveing change is a very good idea in which I do.

I somehow miscalculated my budget for the month and overpaid my credit cards. Yesterday, I was thinking heavily on how to last until the next pay day which is on the last day of the month. Tough! I bought a full supply of food until the end of the month, so I wont have problems. However, I was thinking on my daily use - transportation, etc. So, when I was at home, inside my room, I prepared my things for my next days work. And inside my bag, I saw a couple of bills that I just throw inside my bag or pouch. I like doing that. Hide money until such time that I dont remember them and will just see them during a clean up session in my room. One more week until the next payday. With a full packed fridge, I know the few hundred pesos I saw will last me until the next payday! Good day!

I also do this, I put all the change I have at the end of the day into my plastic bottle, that I use as a sort of piggy bank. But I am kind of boring, I don't really do anything very fun with the money, most of the time I just deposit it into my savings account. But still!
