Whenever either one of us has been out we always put whatever change we have in a series of jars after returning home.<br /><br />When we go out again, we have no change (just a bit in the car for parking) so must use bills to pay which means in turn that we get more change for the jars, lol. This would be very useful for anyone not able to 'bank' all of their change though and so suprising how it all adds up!Kadeeaehttp://www.consumingtheharvest.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-17354950823157727842009-12-30T11:38:02.600-05:002009-12-30T11:38:02.600-05:00Great idea, Gill.

I don't spend every day, so sometimes i have gobs of change, and sometimes i don't. <br /><br />When i was single and first out on my own, i treated my savings a like a bill. I still do this, although am not as faithful as i need to be. <br /><br />Perhaps the daily drop into the piggy bank will help to re-establish the habit?<br /><br />meganSisters of the Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870466996161217926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-80189612721223888792009-12-30T11:23:08.419-05:002009-12-30T11:23:08.419-05:00OK Gill, let me try and comvert to see what amount...OK Gill, let me try and comvert to see what amounts I should be doing in Omani Rials.

Both C and I are doing this. The will be doing the first way and I will be doing the second way. C also saved her toonies for several months and at Christmas had $98.00 worth. Not bad!! Thanks for doing this again. Can't wait to see how it all goes. <br /><br />I have a budget book where I will write down the amount for each month. It will be just like a bill payment...automatically in the bank at the end of the month.

I do much better by just having the money come directly out of the paycheck into savings. If I never see it, it's like I never had it, so I don't spend it. <br /><br />I would totally bust into the change jar. ;)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-51719418172923632272009-12-30T09:53:27.714-05:002009-12-30T09:53:27.714-05:00Gill,

Interest is less than 1%. <br /><br />I've had the younger saving pennies and nickels to show him that little bits do add up. I have jars for dimes and quarters. . . . . .
