Piggybanks anyone?

I have both a piggy bank and a jar to keep change. Before my daughter was born I only had the jar. I used the money that I had in the change jar to pay a few bills when money got tight. It really helps a lot when you have that extra money, and you don't realize how much you have until you count it. And every time so far I have had much more than expected. Now I have a piggy bank to save up money for my daughter.

NO, I don't save change. W hen i buy something i try to give the right change & use mine up that way. Hope u save a bunch & go somewhere really nice.

We don't have a piggybank, just a jar. When it gets mostly full of coins, I take it to the bank and make a deposit.

I save the cans from all the soda my family drink. You don't notice it but when it starts to pile up in your backyard you can cash it and get some good money.

My husband and I have a piggybank where we put our coins. We are going to spend the money on our vacation in September/October. The other day we talked about the piggybank and how much money we had been able to save so far. I suggested we count the coins, but at first we both tried to guess how much money the piggybank contained. My husband thought that there were about $45, and I thought that there were around $50. We counted the coins, and it turned out that we were both wrong, because the piggybank contained about $180! That was a really nice surprice

I need to get a piggy bank again. I had one when I was younger. My sister was in a few states away and she called me one day and said can I have the money you left here in your piggy bank? I didn't think there was much in there so I said yeah I don't care I'm not there to use it anyway. She calls me the next day and says, thanks for the $75 you gave me. I was like what, you gotta be kidding me! I love having a piggy bank and I have to get one again =)

I have a small plastic canvas house where I put found money. Other than that, I spend my coins... keeps from breaking so many bills and that saves money for me. I have a savings account where I add money every payday and a money market account that is funded by rewards programs, too.

I do. I have a jug and I put my change in it all year and during the summer I cash it in and my daughter and I decide what we want to do with it. One year we took a little vacation and stayed in a hotel on the beach. That was awesome. The past few years we have to be a bit more practical. A good portion of it goes to help buy her some clothes and things for school and we may go on a day trip somewhere. It does add up. I will pick up pennies and I work in a store and so many people will say, keep the change. I try to tell them they should save it but some will say they hate dealing with change. It adds up more than some people realize.

It is not a piggybank it is a jar with no lid. I will put all the chage I might have or find laying around the house or in the street. I have used it to buy things to eat or to helo pay a bill but it those not work for ke anymore. When ever the ice cream van passes in front of my house my daughter will get some change to buy stuff and also is she goues to the store with someone she will get change from the jar. So to try save money with change is not possible and I really don't like to hide it from her I feal bad so I try to actually use the change I might have in my purs when I go to the store.

I'm still using a cowie bank to save money (both bills and coins) at this time. To be honest that i tend to used up my money whenever i get hungry, bored, craving over something and end up empty-handed. But i have to try harder this time and never give up!

I have a coin bank where i put my change every day. I started having that because its kind of bulky to carry and it clatters on my bag. It kinda embarassing when I try to run to work, lol. Last time I've checked it and wow it has grown a lot.

yes i have a place to collect my change. it really comes in handy in emergencies especially if you can let it build up for a long time. you be surprised on how much it can add up to i know some people that use those large water dispenser tanks talk about allot of mulla!!!!!! continue saving

Yes i do have my "cow" bank. it was given to me during my 18th birthday! I'm putting a lot of coins there for extra money when i'm really really broke.Ü

I have a big coke bottle bank, I have been filling it for years. My husband says I will never fill it so now I have to! I also have a small house shape bank that I put quarters in. That is almost full but it money for a rainy day. It has been slower to get it full because now most of my change goes to my 3 year old daughter. She is already a good little saver. She gets excited to find change on the ground and will carry it in her pocket all day and put it in her piggy when we get home. She acutally has two piggies. One for dollars or bills and one for coins. The dollar bank gets filled by her grandpas. I have emptied it a few times and put it in her bank account so she will earn a little bit of interest. The bank also has a program that after 10 depoists they depoist $5 in to the account. We have reached that once as it is a new program. I hope that she uses this money for something really fun one day as right now she really doesn't understand what it is for or how much she really has. I have no idea what I will do with my coke bank if I ever get it filled!

I have used many things from mason jars to those huge 5 gallon water jugs. I fill up the mason jars quicker. I am still working on filling up the water jug! It does add up if you don't snitch from it to use elsewhere.

I don't have the piggybank.My son has a bearbank.For me when i want to use money i will press from ATM.I like to keep all money to the bank, so i can see the left of it.
