Do you put all you change in a jar,rather than carry it around with you?

Yes, I have one large juice jug that I use for my quarters, nickels and dimes and another smaller jar for my pennies. I love collecting change and watching it grow. My thing is saving. Not so much spending. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I have two places that I will dump my change and my purse is actually not one of them. In my purse I only keep a quarter because I'll need that quarter when I go to the grocery store so I can get a cart. If I pay with cash for something I will either put the change in my pocket and then empty it into a Tupperware container that I keep on my mantel if I am not going through a drive through, but if I am going through a drive through then I will drop the change into the center console of my car.

I have a habit of putting the loose change into a small container at the end of the day. Sometimes I just put them on the desk since Id be using them as exact jeep fare the next day. When I have a lot I put them on my piggy bank that is on my armoire desk. That way I keep my desk clean from coin clutter and my piggy bank is being "fed" for a few times in a week.^_^ This piggy bank also has an opening at the bottom so when I need exact change, I keep the bills and get out the change for the jeep fare. This also forces me to only have a small number of cash during the day, which is usually enough to cover a bit of snacks, transport fares, and a bit for unexpected expenses. With this I only spend the very minimum and the rest that is left inside my room would be for savings.

I usually carry my change around with me in the big oversized,ugly purse I carry. When it begins to get too heavy I put the change in a huge coffee mug I got from my last job. It holds about 16 ounces so I am sure it holds alot of pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters. I sure get tired of counting pennies.

I try to keep the change out of my purse. I find nothing more aggravating than trying to reach change in the bottom of my purse. I put it in my grand daughter's money bank. Happy Mylotting

I have an old Fritos can and I put my extra change in there. At the end of the month I take the money and put it in the bank. I am trying to save at least $100.00 so I can open a savings account. I had a savings account when I was engaged so my finace (now husband) and I can put any extra money we had into the account to save for our wedding. I kind of miss having a savings account. I know it is important to have, but with the bad economy we had to close it out. I can't wait until my tax return comes so I can put a little into savings.

My husband and I put our pennies into a jar, and when the jar gets full we roll them. The rest of our coins we keep in our wallets, and spend when we find a place to spend them. if we are paying cash it is always a good idea to have a little change, but too many pennies will weigh down our wallets, so we roll them, and take them to the bank.

I have a cup in my bathroom I put change in at the end of the week and then fish some out if I think I might want to buy a soda or something with change. The poor cup is about half full of pennies now.

I put my coins in my jar and don't usually use them until I take a bus or when I buy some groceries with my wife.

I've got several coffee jars full of loose change that's accumulated over the last year or two. I've been meaning to take it down to the bank to go in the savings account for ages, it might as well be earning me a bit of interest. I'll get round to it soon, I'll ask for some money bags the next time I'm in the bank.

I don't really put up a collection of my change as I have to use the early every morning for my bus fare and so I don't have any collection of it. I used to do it a lot when I was younger like collecting unique coins and stamps but recently don't get enough time now for that activity!!

normally i put mine in a jar,but lately i've been spending it coz i've been quite skint

dear jj, i use to collect the loose change and then change it with paper money so that it is not heavy on my pocket and then spend it. now i like to change that habit. i will collect the loose change, place it in a fish bowl and place it there every time i have a change. when the fish bowl gets full, i will count the money and deposit the same in a savings account for my granddaughter. ann

I put my change in my Fritos can and then at the end of the month I deposit it into my checking account. I am hoping by the first of the year I will be able to start up a savings account. I am hoping to find a job where I can make a steady income. I will be starting college in January and am hoping that I will get enough financial aid money so I can save.

I have a change machine that my change goes in and it gets rolled up as you go.

I end up with mine in my glass cut bowl as I have several one day I will count to see what I have lololol

I put all my si;ver in a darke decorated vase and from the out side no one can tell there is money in it. The last time I emptied it there was $59.00 in it but that did take quite a long time to fill it up.

Grrl, you have started 25 discussions so far today? Truly I cannot deal with that many so I will try to just answer this one. I put all my change in the bank, as I do not carry a purse. The alternative would be a piggy bank, but that I would have to dust. The truth is, except for pennies I pick up from the sidewalk I do not get a lot of change due to the fact that I normally pay for things with plastic. "Have Archcard, Will Eat" could be my motto.

I used to work as a waitress and so had a ziploc bag of my money in it. Well my tip money that is. I am sure I looked quite odd to pull out a ziploc bag of money, but it was mostly one dollar bills and fives.

I drop my change in the bottom of my purse. Then, when I notice my back hurting when I carry my purse, I dump it & start rolling coins. One time when I did this, I rolled $110.00. What a pleasant SURPRISE!!! It came at a time I was wondering how I was going to eat. Needless to say, $110 will buy a lot of good food!!! Since then, I still drop my coins in my purse, but I'm sure to put it in my savings account when I roll it. Once in the savings account, I hesitate to take it out unless it's a dire emergency!!!
