We keep a small piggy bank in the kitchen. At the end of each day I put my spare change from my pockets into it, and then once it's full, I tally it up and pay it towards my next electricity bill.

I really like that! It certainly is a way to get ahead on your bills. I spoke with several people who say they take their spare change and purchase stock or go use their change to spend on yard sales. Also both really great ideas.
Yeah, it works for me. I used to take the earnings I made from selling random stuff on eBay and buy shares whenever I reached a certain amount, but now I use that to throw onto our mortgage offset account.
I also put this out on twitter. One great response I received was that a person saved every $5.00 they received. Now they were planning a trip to Italy! Needless to say I am jealous.
