Sounds neat.

I have never heard of saving money in a can you have to open with a can opener, that is awesome, have any pics of it?

i found that method much easier as a child, but as an adult it comes in handy by picking up after hubbys loose change! we ended up getting a holiday out of it!


another way of saving is opening up a different account at the bank and getting a certain amount of money automatically transferred every paycheck!

I need something like that, that I cant get into....we save our change in 3 banks, one for loonies and twoonies, one for "silver" coins, and one for pennies. We've had a lot of good savings from this in the last 3 years, but more recently, there has been a lot of "robbing" from the loonie/twoonie bank...which negates the point of saving. Thus, an unopenable can would be a good thing! I just wouldnt know where to find one....of course, I could macguyver from a large can of broth or something....
