Save your change
The low-tech version of the round-up program is stashing away your spare change at the end of each day. Keep it in a jar, mug, glass or piggy bank. When the container is full, turn that change into a bank deposit. Stacy says he turbo-charges this plan by stashing singles as well as coins.
Coinstar will exchange your coins for an electronic gift card from merchants like Amazon. That won’t raise your savings account balance, but it will give you the opportunity to save your spare change for a special item.
