My father-in-law saves coins more than we do. I do have a coin saver can in the kitchen and a little watering can bank I put quarters in only in hopes of saving up for that special plant.
My man also accumulates change. He leaves it all over the place. I scoop it up and put it in a dish by the front door, where it is handy for my bus fare.
Did you all read Dianne's use of her change? That would be a painless way to save for a plant that might be a bit more costly than you usually buy. Dianne, you are one clever girl!
Norah, Welcome. That's another neat idea for those who have grandkids.
We have a big dish full of change. We don't bother separating the pennies. Sometimes I clean out my purse into it, but it's mostly my husband emptying his pockets.
(By the way, I read that as "men and the change" at first and thought you were posting about male menopause.)
Yup he saves pennies in a wooden piggy bank he had made at school when he was a boy....I save silver all year long then roll it up for when I go to the casino! lol
Yup. They go into an old jam jar that I cut a coin drop hole in and decorated with puffy paint. It's a piggy bank for the young ones. When it gets full, he rolls them and takes them to the bank. Then the little ones get to spend the amount however they want - usually DVDs.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

ReplyDeleteWe don't but I did have some cans of change from yesteryear and I used it for a treasure hunt for my grandkids this summer.
ReplyDeleteMine is a huge coin saver. Once in a while he rolls the coins and takes them to the bank for the grandkids..
