Piggy Banks are Back!

As a young child, I remember one of my first piggy banks, it was one of those little ones with clear yellowish/brownish glass with a "bumpy" surface. I don't remember what happened to that one, but do have a little blue ceramic one that sits near the washing machine for small change that falls out of pockets in the washer.

Tonight on the news I heard that the Piggy Bank is back now that people are literally counting their pennies. I'm showing you a few of my favorites here, cute, but not sure I'd consider the prices "penny pincher" prices, but I'll let you be the judge of that:-) click on the pictures for more information...or just enjoy looking at these cute little banks.

Since so many Baby Boomers are also Grandparents, some of these may make cute little presents for the grandchildren.


And just in case you're not interesting in cutsie little piggy banks, but want something a little more sinister...but still piggy bank related, how about...

I guess that's enough for now...have fun pinching pennies, no matter what you decide to put them in, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

How absolutely adorable! The little purple pig is my favorite.

I remember Piggy Banks. I need to use one again. It only makes cents to me! LOL

My grandson has two piggy banks and gets such a kick out of putting change into them. One of them is a huge porcelin one that Nate's aunt had made for him when he was a child (so you can tell how old it is). It's still in excellent shape though and we expect when we release all of the change, it will pay for Jarod's college tuition (it that BIG)!

Oh Beverly, I just discovered this comment! I can't imagine a bank large enough that when it's full it will pay for college:-) An hand made, what a special Aunt! Thanks for visiting!
