Well, about two weeks ago, I was visiting my parents, and saw that my dad had a coin counting jug. I had thought about getting one in the past but never wanted to spend the $16+ on one that I didn't love. So I started browsing google images for pink coin counting jugs. I had seen one on www.avon.com before, so I was really searching for something similar..well, I came across this hot pink electronic coin counting jug on another bloggers page, and I was instantly in love with it. She had found it on www.qvc.com and also target has it as well. Seeing as it was a few dollars cheaper, and being a huge bargain hunter, I went for the QVC one. When all was said and done, the total came out to $25.01 with shipping and tax. A lot pricier than I had expected, but I loved it and really couldn't stop thinking about it.
The shipping said that it would be delivered tomorrow (friday), so imagine my surprise when I came home last night to see a box from QVC on my front porch! It was my money jug!
I was so excited that while my husband unpacked our sleeping daughter from the car, I ran inside with my purse to go open it and start putting the coins in. I was expecting (after reading the reviews) that the coins wouldn't be recognized as the right amount, and since my dads also read the coins wrong, I was slightly worried. Well, this thing read EVERY coin EXACTLY as it should.
Long story short, I sat there putting each and every coin I could find into this jug and ended up with over $100!! Thats a small trip to the salon! or a new pair of shoes! or a third of my car payment!
Although it cost a little more than I would have liked, I think all in all it's worth every penny and I plan to buy more of them as gifts!
