11. Collect Your Change

Instead of emptying your pockets or purse just anywhere in the house, pick a location and stick with it. Place a jar or piggy bank in this spot. When you clean out your pockets, drop your loose change into your jar. Once your jar is full, take it to a local coin counting machine and cash it in for cash. Some banks may even convert your change into cash for free. Deposit this cash into your saving account or spend it on something fun. You would be surprised at how little it takes to get a lot of money. According to CoinStar.com, a 1 gallon container could result in $228.34 in cash. Not bad for a simple task of emptying your pockets in the same spot every time. You will gain some fun money and have a house free of loose change.
