Loose Change

There are things to do to save money that seem obvious, but many just don't do.  I found this water jug on the side of the road during fall clean up two years ago.  I had always wanted to fill one to the top with change to see how much money could be saved.  We throw all the change that came across our hands in this jug for 16 months. 
It can be tempting to buy a cute piggy bank for $10 but why spend money for a container to save money? 
One day I looked at it and thought it looked like too much money to keep in the house.  I was also curious just how much money we had saved up. 
I poured it all into a 4litre milk jug and it was almost to the brim. Not bad for 16 months.
It took us two hours to sort and roll the money.  We passed the time watching a movie, so it didn't feel that bad.
Go to your bank branch and ask them for change rollers. They will give them to you for free, no need to spend money at a store on things that can be given to you for free.
We counted it up and were surprised at the amount of money that accumulated. We have decided to save and every month take it to the bank to deposit. We now keep it in an empty juice container.  If you are comfortable having cash in your house, a 4l milk jug works great.  Happy savings!
