Question

Silly question: When you receive loose change back from your cash envelope where do you put it?  

Answer 1

We use the counting coin jar that Miko uses and my husband and I have decided that at the end of the year whatever we collect in change through the year we are going to split in half and use this money to spend on each other for Christmas- we used to not buy things for each other at Christmas because we didn’t budget correctly before discovering the budget mom (all of our Christmas was typically funded by credit cards for our kids but keeping a limit in mind) so this works for us- we now have a sinking fund for Christmas spending but will use our change to purchase for each other!  I’m so excited to see what we have at the end of the year- once this jar is full we will continue to save but transfer it to a larger jug

Answer 2

Mason jar on the counter & we use it to pay our daughter for chores!  

Answer 3

Thankful jar. for every coin one of us say something we are thankful for, then we cash it in and use it to do something when its anout $30

Answer 4

I have an old pickle jar I’m using as change jar. My bank has a savings account the rounds up your purchase to the nearest amount you set it at and any purchase that extra amount that wasn’t spent goes into a savings account. It’s like a savings account change jar lol. I’m seriously thinking about opening one.
