So I may have mentioned here before that my mom is something of a garage sale fiend. One of the things she used to do (well, and still does, but less so nowadays) was to put all her small change in these yogurt containers, and grab a full one whenever she was going garage saleing. That way she'd have correct change on hand, which makes things quicker, and since the ten or twenty bucks in a tub full of quarters has already passed out of the budget, it acts kind of like money for nothing, which makes it easier to justify one's finds.

Anyway, she was cleaning her dresser the other day, and decided that it was probably time to cash out some of that accumulated change, seeing as it was taking up a hell of a lot of space and it was the off-season anyhow. Since I tend to keep track of which banks will convert my change for free, I volunteered to take it out the next time I had errands to run in Lacey, which wound up being yesterday.

Friends, yo had $493 in change. It's no Cold Women, Kept Safe, but damn.
