Of course, that was before the Draconian budget cuts at the beginning of my get-out-of-debt plan last year LOL Now I average about $50 per month in change since I no longer spend as much as I used to. It all goes to my savings account anyway.

It keeps me out of trouble with my check card. Debt Free, Wow! You have me beat by about $50 and a couple weeks. No More Spending, The dogs had figured out that it wasn't food by then and decided to nap. :) Lulu, I have gone back to carrying cash. It keeps me out of trouble with my check card.

My record is almost $200 in a 3 month period. Y’all just know I save my change as well ;) Instead of a vase I use an oversized beer bottle (to remind myself of just where the money used to go).

After about three months this translates to about $20 and I take it to the bank because it is about 5 minutes from where I live. feels good to cash in those pesky coins!
