The Tin of Hope

It isn't all baton down the hatches and credit crunch gloom in the MDS house. No! We have the Tin of Hope. The tin houses all the loose change, it lays there dormant until full upon whence it travels to the coinstar machine. I did used to go to the bank with bags but coinstar is so easy and no moody cashiers to deal with.

My tin will bring me joy. Once it is full I will be able to use the money to spend as I wish. I love the Tin of Hope.

  1. We do that,too! We haven't cashed ours in since last April. I think we'll need to when we get back from our trip. x

  2. I have a large plastic hello kitty money box. It is my 'kitty'. Every year we get about £50 out of it and treat ourselves! Just from 2p and the like.

  7. We have CoinStar, but they take a cut for the conversion if you take cash! They don't if you get a voucher for the store you're in.

    Sometimes, se like to just irritate all the cashiers and pay in change!
