This past Christmas, we were able to use all of our change for presents. He's been able to buy his manly electronics, video game stuff, etc. He is SERIOUS about it! Lol... he gets on to me now if I don't put my change in there. Having the counter, it gets kind of exciting. Sad part is, of all the change people don't care about... we make it to $100 easily using our quarters & it's still this little jar. Goes to show that money still goes a long way! At least in our house. Right now, we are going to use our change bucket for either a trip before we move to Nebraska or just save it for furniture & such after we move! <br /><br />Love the post!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-10867090171386135142010-02-03T21:37:03.974-05:002010-02-03T21:37:03.974-05:00Oh, yes!
