Dream Jar
At the house, we have a "Dream Jar" for extra change. The idea is that loose change gets dropped into this large decorative jar kept in Mom & Dad's room. When enough change has collected to fill the jar, we roll the coins and spend it on a fun outing for the family. We have cleared it out twice as I recall over the last couple of years. A slow process, but a fun family outing when it's done.

I was going to post something that popped into my mind. However, I think I'll just tell you in teamspeak to avoid any repercussions....
We have a jar that collects change. It's mostly for pennies, but I also use it for when the kids want to buy a candy bar.
When candy bars go on sale (some store will have them at any given time - 4 for $1.00) I buy a bunch, and when the kids do something nice, they can have a candy bar. Or if they want to spend .50, they can buy one.
Diana has a job, so she buys more from me. However, she now needs to work exercise into her routine because she's getting to be able to wear my size pants.
Size 10 is fine for a 44 year old mom of 3. Not so fine for a 15-year old girl. Especially when she was a size 5/6 about six months ago.
So, should we use the "dream jar" for a new dancepad for the x-box? Then Diana can play against Connor and drop weight at the same time...
