Here Piggy Piggy!

by mapgirl on September 25, 2006

You didn’t like my ghetto Lenten Piggy Bank? You don’t like red gingham Chinese containers? But I repurposed it from it’s original job as a gift box! I think that’s pretty darn frugal!

If you want a hip, stylish one, try these piggy banks out. (WaPo. Probably requires login. Get it from BugMeNot, but WaPo doesn’t spam. I’ve had an ID there for years.)

I really miss having a real ceramic piggy bank. The kind you smash open with a hammer. Lately, I want one with a rubber stopper in the tummy so I don’t have to break it open, but the paper box container did work pretty well. I do open it up every once in a while to raid it for pocket money, but I find that I like having it to stash big wads of cash. I really hate carrying lots of cash, so I’ll put it into the box and pull out one twenty dollar bill at a time.
