Do you Save Change??

[Ellen]

We have a jar on the dresser to dump our change into every day. When that gets full, it get's dumped into a bigger container put away. We really need to go deposit it. It's amazing how quickly it adds up.

I also do the 'keep the change' deal with Bank of America. Basically, when I use my debit card, it rounds up my purchase to the next dollar, and that amount goes into my savings. Example.....I use my debit card for a purchase of $10.75...... 25 cents will go into my savings account. That adds up quickly as well.

Yep, DH keeps a 5 gallon water bottle that he drops his change in each day..

Yes, we save our change.

I wish my bank had the round up to the next dollar thing. I think that is an excellent idea!

we keep our change in a fish bowl. Sometimes i use it for spare change when I may need a twelve pack or some gas. We don't deposit because our share branch credit union doesn't accept coins rolled or unrolled. and I am too cheap to use coinstar or the like

I save all of my change, and all of my one dollar bills. It adds up quick.

yup, we do. We call it "elephant food"(my piggy bank is in the shape of an elephant). Ellie's almost full!

Yes we do... it is the 4 wheeler fund

My bank doesn't offer the round up either, but I do it in my check book/ledger. I just round up to the next dollar amount and then at the end of the month I dump my leftover into savings.
