A Way to Afford a New Kilt Painlessly

[Riverkilt]

Got home from work and like always tossed my change into a bucket I keep of loose change.

Whenever I get around to taking it in to the automatic coin sorter machine I usually get anywhere from $120 to $150, even with the "charge" for automatic sorting. Just depends on how full the bucket is when I cash it in.

Simple thing to do. Usually takes me six months to a year to get the bucket full of change, but hey, its a free kilt. And, there's no reason a person with a goal couldn't throw in some paper from time to time too.

See a lot of folks wondering how to afford kilts...this could work...

Its worth a try! But it won't help with the sale that ends friday (Alan H, what have you done?!!)

Sadly true, but a way to be ready for next year's sale...

Just reminded myself (it takes a while for an old boozed out brain sometimes) of another way to save change that I also practice, and a lot of you probably already do.

I'm not much on subtraction so to simplify things in my checkbook I always round up. So while I'll enter the exact amount for a check, or debit card, of say, $27.38 when I subtract it from my balance I'll subtract $28.00

Over time I get way ahead of myself with subtraction and find I have "free" money available.

So, saving the actual change every day, and creating extra change through check book subtraction would make the process go twice as fast.

For me, I don't miss the saved change in day-to-day living and the accumulated change and extra checkbook pading can be converted into another kilt, or sporran, or kilt hose, et.al.

I have always done the same thing. When I packed everything up to move to my new home earlier this year, I emptied all the change out of drawers and my big jar. Not counting pennies I had just over $300.00. That paid for my modern Gordon traditional I just ordered from Rocky at USA kilts.
