Save Cash by Saving Coins. I actually try to generate change by using bills even if I have correct change. At the end of the day, everyone’s change — including the kids, assuming they’re going on this vacation — gets dumped into the jar. Cash it in every couple of weeks at the bank, not those grocery store change counter things, which take up to 20% of your money. Put the proceeds in a special, unreachable, account.
Take a few minutes to set up a new savings account. Consider Ingdirect.com, which offers excellent interest rates on savings accounts. This is an online bank but is perfectly safe and can actually make you some extra money through higher interest payouts. Arrange to have $50 - $150 a month automatically deposited from other accounts or your family’s paychecks. This money accumulates faster than you think!

For example, the $12 in change from this week is ice cream on the beach for the whole family. The $50 in change this month is dinner out with your toes in the sand…
Give it Time. Start now. This method is for the plan-ahead people, not the “Leave Now!” crowd. It will take several months, but if you start planning and saving little bits and pieces in March for a trip next Christmas, you can make it happen with very little financial pain.
