Coinstar rocks me

so i've been sick all weekend with the flu and havent done shit but watch tv and get fat. then i saw a commercial for the coinstar machines that they have at the grocery store that takes all your change and turns it into cash. the commercial said "go splurge." so of course i take its advice. i go and grab my anon box where i throw my change everyday and leave it to pile up. i figured to myself i might get like $20 bucks out of it all, so i would go get a new cd. I got to the coinstar machine and dumped it in. a couple minutes later it said i had about $100 in change. i was amazed. so amazed i gave $10 to the salvation army guy outside. i guess my point is that if you have change lying around somewhere it may be worth a shit load more than you think.

i tried taking mine to the bank one time before i tried coinstar. the bitch lady said that they can't do that, and that i'd have to roll them all myself. fuck that, you're a bank, banks deal with the customers money, do your fucking job, whore.

when my mom was a waitress when i was about 7 she would throw her change tips into one of those big ass water bottles, the ones that u put on dispensers in offices and whatnot...filled it up over a year, and it was somewhere around 1.2k, and we went to disney world with it =)
