I’ve collected coins into my golden piggy for some time now but coins are not worth a lot where I live. The biggest coin is a little less than $ 0,1. So I will put some smaller bills in a jar for this challenge.
This means that I’m all in. Feed your pigs everyone!

We’ve been doing this for about two years. It really is surprising how fast it grows. Ours goes into the girls’ savings accounts after we roll up the change.

When I find a five in a jacket pocket, a buck in the laundry, or a a couple of ones on a counter that I’ve forgotten about, I always throw those in, too, on the theory that if I haven’t spent that money in X weeks or months, I must not have missed it very much, therefore it goes in the piggy bank.

It helps if you keep a small piggy in the laundry room for emptying pockets and gathering change out of the bottom of the washer.

I’ve been wanting a piggy bank, right now we’re keeping all our change in a little mug. We do have to dig out our quarters every week- the joys of the laundromat. That orange one there is super cute!

My husband and I started doing this when my son was born. We use the change we saved through the year for Christmas and then what is ever left over goes into his college fund. Last year we contributed over $700 to his RESP. It helps that we have $2 coins here.

My dad used to throw his pennies in a coffee can and then every year, cash them in and buy us something – a red wagon, new swings, etc.

I throw all of my change into an old crock (the kind you used to use to ferment pickles and such). It comes out to several hundred dollars a year. And I DO break my dollars. If the price is $1.01, I give the cashier $2. I’ve actually had to fight with them sometimes to give me the change instead of writing off the penny. ha ha

Oh girl, I’m WAY into saving change. It takes me awhile because I’m a super tightwad and rarely spend money, but about once a year we cash in the change. Last year we bought some books, and the year before we had a nice dinner.

I love the piggy bank!!

i accept the challenge! tho my partner might wonder where all the quarters are disappearing to…we don’t have a washer/dryer in our house and so use the coin laundry, thus we are ‘quarter-hoarders’! so maybe i can still set aside my change, sans quarters! ;)

My husband saves all of his quarters in an ammo can. Whenever he wants to buy something, that I roll my eyes at, he just says “I’ve got my quarters.” I can’t argue with that.

We’ve been doing this for years and use a plastic juice jug. Even used to throw paper bills in. I bought my brand new washer and dryer a couple years ago on that savings alone.
