I'm trying to find ways to save more money, so I've started a change jar. I thought it might help me and anyone else interested to save if we added a little friendly competition. It's pretty self explanatory. Start a change jar and put your spare change into it.
It's perfectly legal to scrounge your house, couches, etc, for existing change to start you off. Dollar bills won't be counted towards totals, although this is obviously an honor system thing. I'm saving for our labor day DL trip, so let's do our counts on September 1st. To make it interesting, I'll buy the winner an ice cream at Gibson Girl when we come down. I'm pretty sure I'll win though.
I emptied a giant red vines container (don't ask why we even had that many red vines
) and drew Mickeys all over it. Indi loved finding change and putting it in our "mickey money" jar. I'm thinking of glueing the top shut to prevent temptation.
Post here if you are starting a change jar. Happy saving!
