Default Re: Anyone do a change jar?

I use a Planters Cheese Balls container to drop my change in weekly. I travel a lot for my job and I used to use cash for the tolls. However, now I have an IPass automatic payment system so I've found that I collect my change faster now than when I had to use it for tolls.

I love when its full and I take it to the bank to turn it into cash. I never know how much it will be but I always make sure to spend it on something fun. I've already made changes in spending habits to bring down my credit debt, so I use this as a motivational tool to keep on saving, knowing that I have my change can to do something fun with every now and then.

It's almost full now and when I turn it in this time I'll be saving it to use on my vacation to San Diego in Feb. 2005
