A penny saved…

I’ve been doing some long due cleanup this week, and decided to sort the loose change that has a tendency to accumulate in every corner of my place.  The results, after filling a separate bag with pennies, is this:

Results of the change hunt

In total, about $115 closer to taking a trip.  The conclusion of all this for me, is that accumulating the random change that has a tendency to make me walk around like a pack mule might actually make a difference in my travel budget, without even being noticeable.  Resolution of the day: sort pocket change into my shiny new box nightly and reserve the results for funfunfun 🙂
