have you heard of this, are you taking part in this?

piggy bank, shoebox (taped tightly) or online bank acct (with no checks or ATM card)

once a week (maybe fridays) you deposit the amount of whatever week (of the year) we're on.

Start of the year:
1st Friday = deposit $1.00
2nd Friday = deposit $2.00
32nd Friday = deposit $32.00
47th Friday = deposit $47.00

and at the end of the year you would have over $1300.00 saved
may be a nice challenge for some teenage kids or young adult.

download the chart HERE where its easily explained

Back when I worked in the city, I would throw all my loose coin in a counter each night. It was amazing.

I still do that with coin, but in this day and age of using credit cards and the fact I'm not out so much, I don't end up with so much.

I knew someone that did the $5.00 trick, although I forget what they did at the end.

Wells Fargo has a Way to Save account, where they will deduct a set amount each month from your checking account and put it there, they pay a higher % on I think the first $500.00... a little bonus helper...

try the challenge... those coins aren't going to add up to 1400.00 at the end of the year

Week 2 just past, there should be $3.00 in the "Challenge Account"

I see that they also charge you a FEE if you have under 300.00 in the account or seet up and maintain one or more automatic, recurring savings options.

auto saving I guess would be good

They started asking for their change in 10s and singles.
