This weekend, as part of the Great Move, we returned all our beer bottles, and wrapped all our pennies.

Guess:

    Ye gods. Did no one tell you you can bring your change to Super C and not waste your life rolling pennies? All for the low low cost of a 10% take?

    $75, give or take, on the pennies.

    Beer bottles? The store must have HATED you. Forty bucks?

    Jeff was more accurate on the pennies, but you're very close on the bottles: $42.80

    The store didn't mind all that much. The funny thing was, when I wheeled the cart I'd absconded with back into the store and up to the bottle redemption counter, the clerk asked me if I knew how many we had. I didn't, as we hadn't counted yet - she was ready to take me at my word how many bottles they owed us for, rather than actually have to count them!
