A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

0630 coinstar

Coinstar has machines in many grocery stores across the country. The machines separate and sort the coins and keep count while it does it. The machines charge 9.8 cents per dollar, but the result can be converted into cash at the checkstand. Sounds great?

I found out that Coinstar partners with several companies to put the total on gift cards or coded receipts, without charging the 9.8 cents per dollar fee. Companies like Amazon, Albertson’s, and Borders Books. Cool!
