They saying goes, “A penny saved is a penny earned”, so in the States we save our change in piggy banks, jars, drawers, couches, etc. Then eventually we take all of our change that we’ve saved to the bank, they sort it out & give us the cash. Then we take it to Disney World for spending money, or get the special thing we’ve been wanting, or take our family to dinner.
We thought we do the same thing when we moved here 4 months ago, so we started saving our change to get waffles! Before we moved we took it to the bank. Well, let’s just say we don’t think people here have ever heard of “A penny saved is a penny earned”. The bank teller looked at us like we were crazy & asked us where we had gotten so much change. We said we had saved it each day, at which she looked at us even stranger! She said they couldn’t do something like that.
But we wanted our waffles, so we still headed to the waffle stand with our change. We had not idea how else we’d get rid of $15 of change before we moved otherwise! We ordered our waffles & started counting out our change for the two teenage boys that were working. We don’t think they were very excited about it, but they had made a sale. The morale of our story is that we will no longer be saving our change, but spending it each day!
