Cashed In My Pennies
I'm decluttering and cleaning as we prepare for a move out-of-state. I decided to cash in my pennies. There were 1086 of them, and the coin machine took about 92 cents as a fee. I decided to go on a little spending spree with these! I bought 3 pair of underwear and PJ bottoms for myself, all on sale, and a baby outfit (on sale too) to donate to a mother/baby clinic here in town. As I made these purchases, it made me think that it is really worth it to bend down to pick up those pennies!

Very good! Yes, I pick up all loose pennies.
