Start saving your cash NOW! Get a gallon milk jug or something similar and write 'Roo Fun Fund on the side of it. Start dropping your pocket change, that fiver you found on the ground, the $$$ you had planned on spending on the hook-up that didn't happen, whatever into it. By the time June rolls around you should have a couple/few hundred bucks in there....

I have a tupperware bowl on my bureau where I keep all my loose change. Every two or three months I'll take it to the bank to change into actual notes - it usually ends up being around $50-$60 in coins.
Last year, from Feb-June, I saved $25 per week from my paycheck for Roo. Basically money I saved from NOT eating out twice a week. In the end, I had over $300 to take to the farm. This year, it will probably be more like $15 a week, but every little bit helps.

This truly does work like a charm. I did this to save up for All Good last year and by the time the festie came around I had more money than I needed... I actually came home with close to $100!!
I have a Cheshire Cat bank. I've filled him up a few times and totally banked every time. It's nice to have something that collects money smile at you.
I started my piggy bank a couple months ago. I call it my bonnaroo bank and I printed some cool pictures of the computer to print it. But now I need to find a new container that I cannot get into because I keep taking money out. I saved close to $100 and it's all gone now because my will power sucks.
i actually did this in 07 as well and had nearly $100! which was surprising considering i hardly put anything in it just loose change from my pants at the end of the day. it really does add up!

^Any more fun and you might have died..... ;D ;D ;D
....again
and i do the change jar deal as well. i just cashed mine in before moving back to texas actually, and had $150! whenever i spend a $5 on something, and i get like, $2.38 back in change, i put it ALL into the jar (if its in my pocket at the end of the night). also there were a few $5s in there

yessss.! This is a really good thread. People dont realize that penny's made nickels, nickels make dimes, etc.
My mom actually got me my first piggy bank, bc she used to use a 5 gallon water drum for the offices (the ones you put upside down) but one day my senior year, someone broke into our house and stole that, and nothing else kinda lame, bc then my step dad thought it was me and all of my hippy friends. But it wasnt (Imagine having a piggy bank filled and you get 125 bucks, well her water jug was almost full!!! Probably about 1000-2000 dollars in there, if not more) Super lame!!!!
I'm a waitress so every night after work I stash away $3.00. I'm already up to around $100. This plan works pretty well for me as well as saving my coins.

me and the girlfriend took an old shoe box, duct taped it shut, cut a hole in the top, decorated it up the wazoo, and then called it our bonnaroo box. within 5 months we saved over 800 dollars. it was an amazing thing

I usually save my change for christmas gifts, but I will start a roo fund this year. Also, if you dont want to lose $8 for every $100 take it to a bank instead of coinstar, they do it for free.

Unless your bank doesn't have one of those machines and makes you count it by hand. Grr National City...

My place was broken in to a few months ago... they took mine and my roomie's laptops, but the only other thing they took was my change!!!! I guess criminals understand the value of saving change, too.

I'm actually a fan of counting it out by hand. The way I look at it is it's a nice and relaxing way to make money... just sitting at a table with a good record on counting out coins. I can deal with that if it results in $60 after an hour or so tops
Depends on the bank. The bank that owned the company I used to work for has free coin counters in the lobbies (Commerce Bank, now Toronto Dominion). Dump, get your receipt and hand it to a teller...whether you're a customer or not!
