Do you stash your pocket change to save up money?

Oh yea,both my dad and I do that.Whenever we get change ,we put it in our Garfield bank and whenever it gets filled,we take it to the coinstar machine to be coverted to bills then we deposit it in the bank.of course that also goes towards us going back home.We also pick pick up any change we see on the ground.It's mostly pennies but they do add up .I have also found quite a few nickles ,dimes and I found a quarter once.

Of course, I have been doing this for years. Last time I cashed in my coins I had $72.00 and they wre getting kind of heavy. Another easy way to save a little - when you enter deposits in your checking account only add in the dollars. When you subtract money you spent, ALWAYS go up to the next higher dollar. This way you save between 1 -99 pennies for every entry (unless it really does end in .00). This is a painless way to save and in just a couple of months you have a nice little cushion built up.

i don't get much change to save even though i think ur idea is good and can b really helpful keep saving best of luck

I always save my change,cause i think if I have more money that i can do something i want to do .such as traveling and shopping...Anyway ,money is a good thing in our life.Saving more is better than not.

Yeah, I also often dip into the jar when I need a couple dollars too. It comes in very handy.

Along time ago, when my husband worked in the services industry, we saved his daily tips. Everyday he'd just come home and unload his pockets into a drawer. Noone ever touched the money. Cause after all it was just dimes and nickels and quarters. When we decided to relocate, we decided to count them all up. Turns out we had over $2500. We lived on that money till he found a new job. So, yes, saving your dimes and nickels will pay off. Sometimes you'll end up using for living expenses or emergency and not just for fun.

I always save my change. I've been doing that for years now. people think hey it's change it's not worth nothing! but it really is. It quickly adds up and before I know it I have 200 dollars just by saving! I save mine in jars or anything I can find.

I save all my change and that is our vacation money. So what ever is in there tells us what we can do for the family vacation that year. We have always done just what we wanted doing it this way. I worked at a dollar store during high school. There was an older man that shopped there often. Every time he came in he wouldn't give me the 6 or 12 cents change. I finally asked him if he had the 6 cents. He said yes but I'm not giving it to you. I said okay. Kinda like "whatever" After my okay he said I save all my change. I have since I was a boy. He told me that he saved his change ever since he was really young. When he was in his 20s he bought his house out right with his change. Then in his 60s he retired and has "nothing" to worry about. I have saved my change ever since.

I will be honest, if it is anything more than a penny, it's gone. I have a container with over five dollars in pennies in it. I am saving them for an emergency, it would have to be very important for me to want to be bothered with them. I have been saving them for a little over two years and I don't plan on needing to spend them for a very, very long time. Several times, I have come close to spending them up, but I have not had to yet, which is pretty cool.

Yes, I agree with you that saving money like this helps us to earn more all the time. We can save all changes and it can become big amount.

Yep! I am also doing the Save the change thing on my bank account! It puts all of the change into my savings accoutn!

i save all my change i was amazed when i first started how much money i could save at the end of the year just by not spending change

i normally throw away loose changes before now but i started throwing them in a can in my wardrobe on the advise of my spouse and just last week i was in need of some money we took out the can and lo and behold we had almost enough from the loos e changes i have been dropping in the can,surprise how little drops of coins can become useful.

Every night before I goto bed, I empty out my pocket & put all the change in a little jar, except for quarters... I always keep few quarters in my pocket... I've been doing this for years now... Since the last time I emptied out the jar, I think I've collected about $40 bucks in dimes, nickels & pennies... My bank has free coin counting machine there so that's where I go to "cash in" my loose changes... Few years back, I bought myself a stereo just by saving up loose changes for about a year...

Normally i will keep all my extra change in the piggy bank save it up yea .

Yes, I usually save back my change. It is really amazing how quickly the change can add up! I have a cup in my room that I put my spare change in, and then when it gets filled up, I put as much of it as I can into coin rolls and take them to the bank to deposit into my savings. If I fill up an entire container, then I usually end up being able to deposit about $20 or so into my savings account. It is really nice since I just sort of stash the change away and forget about it. Then when it comes time to actually put it in the bank, it feels like just free money since I forgot I had it! :)

I have always saved my change. Now I use the Keep the Change thing at the bank - it is amazing how quickly the savings add up! I am trying to start using my coins instead and saving all of my one dollar bills because it is a pain to roll coins!

i dont have a piggy bank in my house but i do have a coin can. i put all the coins i have in my pocket every time i get home. last month i got it full and went to coinstar, it was 620 dollars. didnt know ive saved up that much.

You'd be surprised at how quickly the coin change adds up! I do do that and just changed it in for $30! I don't have alot as income is limited in the first place, but always nice to have some! I have a blog about all my save money ways I have learned over the years - i my case it was to make ends meet, but it is also saving...in my profile Coffee Break Whatever Save Money. It is easy - you just have to find where you are spending your money!

Hmm I tend to spend that too as far as saving money I will be doing that in the near future...I usually try to use up all the change so I don't have to carry it around it is so heavy to carry around...
