Answer 1

put it in a jar and than . cuss at myself the next time I'm at the store and I needed that change So break another bill and get more change that I put in a jar. and the cycle continues.

Answer 2

I put all the change in a big jar and when it gets really heavy, I store it in a closet and start filling a new jar!
I'm saving jars for a time of need...let's say in case my husband ever cheats...I'll have my really heavy jars to throw on his head!
Is this practical thinking or is this practical thinking?:-)

Answer 3

I put it in a jar and when it's full I roll the change and take it to the bank then put it into my savings account which is for my nephews college. (not just the change I do put other money as well)

Answer 4

I put it into a chocolate box in my desk drawer. At the end of every month, my wife and I roll it up and cash it. It's always more than enough for a really romantic, nice night out for just the two of us. Nice bottle of wine, nice restaurant and a nice show. And I'm not talking about a movie. Usually a nice jazz club or live performance. Even a play or Broadway show every now and then. Last year, we saw the blue man group with our pocket change.

Answer 5

I keep a few bucks worth of change in my truck, and use it all the time. I keep about a buck of mixed change in my pocket, so when I'm at the store I don't have to break more bills. I also have a little statue I got from my grandmother that I put the rest of it in. When it gets full I take it in to the bank and get bills out of it for lunch or something like that.

Answer 6

I save it for a couple of yrs. and vacation on it. I saved 3 yrs. worth of silver, wound up going to mertil beach, for a week. hotel, gas, golf, dinners, bars and gifts. All were "paid" for a vacation for 2. There was even money left over to get about $200.00 in change to start on it again.( By the way we drove from Wisc. to north carolina to see the country side)

Answer 7

It goes in a jar and eventually my wife takes it to this change machine. What the machine does instead of giving you money, offers you a selection of money off coupons worth more than the total amount of change. For instance five dollars may get you a seven dollar Starbucks coupon. Ten dollars may yield a fifteen dollar coupon at a local restaurant. The more the worth of the change the higher the value of the coupon.

She gets them mostly for a local restaurant that my son and his wife like and then she gives them to my son so they get to eat out for free or nearly so.
