One of my favorite ways to save money without noticing a bank account deficit, is to stash all my loose change in a jar, then cash it in at the end of the year. Apart from noticing that my purse is a little lighter than usual, I never mind not having exact change. In fact, the more change I collect on my day-to-day purchases, the better off my savings account will be! This year, I added approximately $200 to my account!

Coink Piggy Bank by Mint, $45.00

And while a regular glass jar suits my needs just fine, there may be some of you out there who would prefer something a little less old-school-beer-fund in design. Might I suggest this adorable grown-up piggy bank? Its funnel top makes stashing your loose change easy peasy (who has time to put their coins away one by one?), and its simple design would look right at home anyplace in your abode. Besides, with a face like that, how could you not remember to fill him up with coins every day?

Oh, and to sweeten things up a bit, the W Hotels Store is throwing in free shipping and 30% off its purchase price with promo code D6T8V, now through January 10th. Happy savings!
