He saved all the little tips he made (in coins). When we got engaged, he used that savings of $350 to buy my engagment ring. <br /><br />I've always saved coins and I've just recently started stashing away one-dollar bills. It's an easy way to save and a little quickly turns into a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473877902761564321.post-38375052794093818472010-06-18T20:19:02.598-04:002010-06-18T20:19:02.598-04:00Great post.

I normally use the debit card for the purchases that I make, but when I do have change I save it in a pretty blue/green canning quart jar. He saves his in an old coffee jar. They both sit on his dresser in our room. It is amazing how much a person can save by doing this!Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473877902761564321.post-68166775592580396572010-06-16T10:46:51.637-04:002010-06-16T10:46:51.637-04:00wow... what an insightful post!

I used to do that with spare change in my pocket, but also, I'd go to the local army base and i'd want a cinnabon, so you had to pay cash there. I'd either take it out of the ATM or get cash back from the register, no matter if it was $5 or $10 or $20 I took from the register, I always put the change in this tiny piggy bank I had bought at the dollar store! In six months I had $80 bucks in CASH ALONE! I had another $60 in change... (I didn't eat that many cinnabons, I swear, it was my rule for all cash!) so we had $140 cash to drive across the country with to get back to our duty station. We used it as food, and made it from Seattle to just out side of Colorado. Which, I must say was pretty good for us! lol... <br /><br />this is long, sorry!<br /><br />Another time, I found all the loose change in my house, I had $80!!!! I saved it for Christmas and bought the Mr. some golf clubs! (I used some of his money too! Its a nice set!) but the $80 helped!!!The Mrs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03341718838239387192noreply@blogger.com
