Jun. 4th, 2015 07:30 amMade a total of $5.55 off of cans and bottles at King Kullen yesterday. When I went to the service counter to exchange it for singles and dimes, the person there told me that they're not supposed to do that, and even have a machine for exactly that purpose, but offered to exchange with me that one time. Got a five and two quarters back while withholding one nickel.
Checked out the aforementioned machine, and it turns out that you can only exchange coins for vouchers, gift certificates, or to donate them. (And the reason I save my recycling for that particular store, is because the machines there give you the money itself instead of vouchers, and are thus more environmentally friendly.)
Mom and I didn't go to the gym during our time away from home. But, from now on, that should always come before the library (currently located in the same shopping center). (Of course, that's likely to become a moot point once the regular library building re-opens this summer.)
Furthermore, I mentioned something about dimes in the first paragraph. That has to do with those coin rolls that I got with that coin machine from Savers. I would like to keep all sets apart from one another. Here's what's going on:
Quarters: Started with 20, and have since maxed the current one out at 40.
Nickels: Started with 9, currently have 36. (Max: 40)
Pennies: Started with 12, and have already maxed out at 50.
Dimes: Started with just one, and currently have 32 (including five that I swapped the aforementioned two quarters with in the jar in the basement; that's obviously different from when I used to take quarters for myself to spend on scratchoffs). Maximum is 50.
The recycling machines only give me quarters and nickels, which would explain their described frequency. Pennies, obviously, are the easiest to find at random, because they're only worth one cent and thus are the least desirable for anyone who doesn't have to think about money like I do. Regarding dimes, I've just answered my own question already.
At this point, once I get paid this weekend for various chores over the week, maybe then will be a good time to fill the nickel and dime rolls the rest of the way up and take everything to the bank, so I can start a new set.
