SAVING IDEA
Never spend your change, be penny pinching.
Use a container and deposit all your change into it. Let all your change accumulate for a year. Use the money to get something nice for yourself, or continue adding to it, for several years and take your children (or just you and your significant other) on a special vacation.
Don’t take your change to one of those machines in the grocery store, they charge a percentage. Go to your bank, most of them have coin counters and it is free.
