Here is a great incentive to save up your extra change.  If you use Coinstar machines to turn your change into cash, think about getting gift cards instead.  If you choose to convert the coins into a gift card to various retailers you will not be charged any fee (if you choose to convert to cash you are charged a 9.8% fee).

A Tip from a Reader:
I’ve made a point to save the leftover change from transactions to throw into a large piggy bank. By Christmas, I’ve easily saved $125-$140 and then convert that change into certificates to use at Amazon to do part of my Christmas shopping online.

(thanks Cheryl in Greenville!)
