Yay!! We save change too. Last year we paid for all our Christmas presents from our change. It really adds up - and I hardly ever use cash (debit everything).
Wow! That's amazing when you normally hear people pay for the Xmas gifts clear to June on their CCS!
We pay cash for our Xmas gifts too, we keep the gifts to a bare minimum. Candles & cards for adults, toys for our two little boys (nothing extravagant, just stuff to unwrap), and a couple of gifts and cash for college aged daughter. MIL gets cash too (It's all she will accept, she brow beats us into submission).
Congratulations! It's working!!!! We do that too. I count and wrap every couple of weeks or so. Right now we've only got $14 in change wrapped and ready to go to the bank but every penny helps. DH used to use his for when he wanted cigarettes and didn't have cash. I told him years ago the change was off limits and it was being wrapped and going into the bank. All total we've deposited about $500 from loose change so it does work. Some weeks it's not as much as others but it does add up over time. Keep up the good work!!! I'm glad your DH has gotten on the band wagon even if it is after buying the car. At least he's part of the program now.
