MY vacation jar was $44.23 but I had to tap into it on the last day of March. It's now $27.63 but I will be replacing that this Friday! Got a bunch of bottles I'm collecting so will be taking them in tomorrow to add to the jar.

I would love to take the challenge! $65.69 as of 4/1/07! Although I find that to get a lot of change I have to shop a lot. I am going to start saving my $1''s too.........I really want to go to Diney World next year!

I wish I could have totals like you all. I have a change jar that has been going for several years and in total has maybe $140 +/-

That's several YEARS of change. We just are not a cash household, so don't have much change come into our lifes.

Anyone else like this?

I wouldn't have a lot of change except for the fact that my dh only uses cash (except when he buys gas)

I never used cash and still don't very often but I'm slowly converting to my dh's ways. I guess it comes from living in a small town. Who knows?

I never thought of having several jars. I think a Xmas one is a great ideal.
