January Change

I am off this morning to the city for an appointment with my specialist.  It's a 3 hour round trip, plus $60 in gas,  plus 20 min of parking and another ---- minutes of waiting, for a 10 min appointment.

I really appreciate having a specialist. Taking a day off of work and the cost and time it takes to do so is not a fun part.

Before I head out I will stop at the bank to deposit my coins for the month. This will go towards my Back to School goal of $500

I had:
  • 1 roll of toonies - $50
  • 1 roll of loonies - $25
  • 1 roll of dimes - $5
  • 2 rolls of quarters - $20

for a total of $100. 1/5th of my back to school goal.

I'm always curious where so much change comes from. Maybe since I rarely pay with cash, I just don't experience the change. Good for you saving so much. That is a lot of travel for such a short appointment. Hopefully you can find a good radio program or audio book.

SAM I pay most daily things...groceries, gas, drug store...with cash. I give myself a weekly amount and most of the time when I get change, it goes straight into the jar. Coins definitely add up in Canada with our $1 and $2 bills long removed from circulation and replaced with coins.

I save all our quarters nickels and dimes for our Fun Fund. It sure does add up quickly. I also put our deposits from returned cans and bottles there. Back to school will be so much easier with this fund.
