One of my favorite ways to save money throughout the year is saving all my coins.  I have a large decorative glass vase that works well for this.  As the end of the year approaches, it’s time to cash in my coins.  I use the collected money for Christmas presents.

By going to a Coinstar machine, I can exchange my coins for gift cards with no coin counting fee!  Here are some of the gift cards you can choose from:

  • Starbucks
  • Amazon
  • ITunes
  • Circuit City
  • JC Penney
  • Eddie Bauer
  • Borders
  • Pier 1 Imports
  • Cabela’s
  • Disney store
  • AMC Theaters
  • Old Navy
  • Linens n Things

You can find a Coinstar machine in many grocery stores, or go to www.coinstar.com to find one near you.
