We've done the money jar thing, too, though not recently. We take ours to our credit union where we have an account because the ones at our grocery store charge us a fee. The machine at the CU doesn't because we have an account. You might check to see if your bank will count the change for free (if the other machine charges you or limits you to only spending the money at that store)! Great tips!!

I tried looking on the website but had no luck. I was wondering how you were able to set up sub-accounts within ING? I tried looking on the website but had no luck.

That is a good way to keep change and small bills on hand that you are likely to misplace or leave in your pockets, etc. You aren't going to run to the bank to deposit 50 cents each time you have some change in your wallet. It's not meant for long-term saving, but just to collect money before you turn it into cold, hard cash. I disagree about the jar.

If the money is in the bank it can earn you interest whereas it will notbe doing it in a jar. My money making tip is to carry as little cash as possible and then you are not only earning more interest but you are less likely to buy things as you do not have the money handy.

That one thing alone is going to save me upwards of $700 a month now. Being new to frugalness, I would say to keep a pricebook to find the cheapest grocery store in town.
