I've had a little experiment in mind for a week or so and I've decided that this is the week to try it. I've told you guys before that we do everything with cash now. We've found it a really valuable way to keep up with where our money goes. This week I've decided not to use any change during my transactions unless it calls for less than a dime. I'm keeping all of the money I'm saving in a jar and I'll count it at the end of the week to see what I came up with. I'm wondering if this wouldn't be a great way to start saving now for those surprise Christmas expenses that always pop up, or maybe for "mad money" for a family trip this summer. I'm anxious to see the results, so come back at the end of the week and I'll let you know how I did!

My husband takes out his pocket change at the end of every day and he and my son count it and roll it (when necessary.) They have saved nearly $150 in about a year and a half. And that's jsut what hubby doesn't spend in the vending machines! Good luck with your little experiment!!
