One wonders how long a penny will be worth a penny
but we are counting our pennies as well Literally and figuratively

It’s great that you are practicing what you preach on the title of your blog: Counting Your Pennies

We have a coin storage machine, but since we never carry money, it is not very full. There is a down side to not carrying money, though: I read somewhere that we tend to spend up to 30% more when using plastic, even debit cards.

What am I thinking?!

[...] Counting My Pennies is literally looking to count her pennies (change jar at work). [...]

That’s a great idea! I keep a change jar on my desk as well but I work at home and nobody else contributes to it.

I worked in an office once in Colorado where we saved all our soda cans. There was no deposit on them so most people just throw them out. Every once in a while one of the guys I worked with would take them in to be recycled. The recycling company I guess paid for the cans and when he returned them he would come in with bagels for the office the next morning.

It was really nice and unexpected! I bet if you did something nice for the office your coworkers would appreciate it!
