Okay ladies! Since its the end of the month practically I thought I'd see how everyone did. I counted and rolled my change last night and have $93.50! Woo Hoo.

There is still a little bit of change I put back in the jar b/c it wasn't even so I couldn't roll it. How did you all do?

My dh & I are so pleased, we decided to really try to put majority of our change in a old small flower pott in the cupboard where our shoes go..... I dedicated myself to dollar bills also and dh even put in ONE FIVE!!!

OUR TOTAL FOR FEBUARY: 69.12 YEASH!!!!!!!!

We decided that since financially we are doing the BEST we have been in 2 yrs we are going to do something FUN with the money. we are now calling our change jar... our FUN FUND!!**** SOOO HAPPY

I just now started to save one dollar bills with my change .I save dimes.Nickels,and penny's the quarters I have to use for laundry hopefully that will be over soon.

I always save my change but am guilty of getting into it if I want a candybar at the convenience store or something. I plan on now saving it and giving up those little treats. I will post how much I have right now and at the end of the month I will add it up again and see how much I have saved. I am also gonna save dollar bills and see how much I can save in a month.

I just started a jar for our vacation money about a week ago. As of March 17th, I have $9.83 so far. That's not bad since its harder to get the change when you've reduced spending...I'm trying not to eat out not even the dollar menu's and I am going to try instead to put that money in the jar.

I am so excited to start this with three kids we are lucky if we don't run out of monry at the end of the month. So we have not been able to save much. Can't wait to report!

Putting change in jars is a great idea!! I started doing this about 2 years ago but unfortunately haven't always stuck with it. Right now I have 3 jars-vacation, birthdays & christmas. Me & my dh have put some bills in these when we had ended up w/extra $ which is very rare, even w/both of us working!

Birthday jar=$22.45
Vacation jar=$29.45
Christmas jar=$0

We started this @ the end of January which isn't too bad since we haven't always been able to contribute!

We now have $12.43!!! Instead of putting the full amount in the tank for gas, I put it minus .50 cents and saved our change from when we bought food. I may have double the amount by the end of the week, we'll have to see...
