So, this is my fat little jar. It's full to the bursting point, as you can plainly see. In fact, I've found myself collecting change much less frequently in the past few months because it was pretty full and it's tricky to add any money to it. I can't even get the lid to fit in right!
I don't want to cash it in. I want a bigger jar. I want this little jar to be the 'satellite' jar, and I will dump it into a much larger jar. The problem is that I don't have a much larger jar. I'm thinking I would like a 5-gallon jar - like those giant pickle jars that I guess are in bars or something? I just don't know where to search!
One of the reasons I'm so reluctant to cash in the change is because this is a little savings for me that I don't dip into. Savings account? ATM-accessible. Change jar? Not really handy when I'm out shopping. And the new Charlie Ticket machines give change in Sacagawea dollars, which go right into the jar so I start each month with $9 in change!
