Small Change For Fun and Games

A really good tip for supplementing those occasions of fun and games is to have a special jar put aside for loose change that can be put towards leisure activities.

It is amazing just how much you can put together over a couple of weeks and even if it doesn't cover the whole of the cost it will still go a long way towards making the activity possible and less painful on the purse.

The secret is to get into the habit of putting your loose small change into the jar every evening. Make it a ritual and easy to remember, for instance you could keep the jar on the bedside cabinet and when you get undressed at night, empty your pockets of the small coins. Or keep the jar by the front door, so when you take your coat off you also empty your pockets or purse of change.
