CHA-CHING!

Bare with me on this one....I'm just excited and all of my frugal friends will appreciate this. I just have to share about a little secret that some of you may know about, but others might not. All I have to say is 2 words...COIN STAR! Chris and I found a lot of coins around our house that had been collecting for quite a while and took them to a Coin Star at Albertsons to have them redeemed and ended up with two different $15 Starbucks cards (one for each of us) and almost $10 worth of i-tunes! If you have Coin Star give you cash for your change, they take almost $.09 per dollar, but if you have them redeem into a gift card of choice (Starbucks, i-tunes, Amazon, JCPenney, etc.) they don't charge a fee and a card shoots out! WE WERE STOKED! We raided our house and went back twice today after our first trip ended in such success. The best part is after all the change has been counted and you cash in, the machine says "CHA-CHING!" :) It's the little things in life that make us happy....Starbucks here we come.
