Growing up we always had a coin jar. Once my mom’s purse was too heavy to carry(literally!) she would empty the change into the jar. Then when the jar was almost full we’d sprawl out on the living room floor and count it. After we knew how much there was off to the bank it went to be counted and deposited. This deal seems better than bringing it to the bank because you get an extra $10!
Find a Coinstar machine near you. Bring $40 in coins into the Coinstar machine and opt to receive a gift card for a major retailer and you’ll actually get a $50 gift card. It costs to use the Coinstar machine if you cash it out, but there is no fee if you choose to receive a gift card. Some of the retailers are Lowes, Amazon, and many, many more. Offer good through December 26, 2009.
Looks like another great way to stretch your money further and possibly knock out a Christmas present or two!
Thanks, Pocket Your Dollars!
