a penny saved

we have been saving change for about a year now. we've gone to a mostly cash system so we have a fair amount coming home with us. i decided to pull it out and count it so we could use that money for our texas trip. this is what we started out with. a full jelly belly jar and a half full glass jar.


the kids and i separated and stacked and ended up with this.


doesn't look like much does it? we started rolling and adding and we came up with...
can you believe it?! and that was before we added the pennies. we had another $12 in pennies giving us a grand total of
$290!

cha ching!

unfortunately on vacation that will last us about 8 minutes, but it's $290 we didn't have to come up with. doing a happy dance!
