Today’s money saving tip is about stashing away the small change that you get each day. Try to use bigger coins or paper money when you buy something, instead of fishing for small coins in your pocket to pay the exact price. Take the small change you get in return and put it in a special pocket. At the end of the day, put it in a special place, and forget about it.

Do that, and you’ll see that it quickly mounts to a nice sum. Once you have enough go to a supermarket with a CoinStar machine and change it. Actually this whole tip is based on CoinStar machines still being available in american supermarkets, since I’m not an american. I don’t recommend going to a bank and torturing the cashier by giving him a bucket of small change to count. I for one give the small change to my mother, since she’s always looking for small coins to pay in the market, and she gives me larger bills in return. This works well during Christmas when coins are nowhere to be found in stores from my country.
