We have a coffee can (the metal kind) that we put all change into. If we need car wash quarters then we "buy" them out of the can. When the can gets full we take it and turn it into bills. Then place the bills in the bottom of the can and start over. We paid for Branson with the "can" last year (started saving about 3-4 months before the trip). It paid for EVERYTHING (even the tons of raffle tickets I bought) We started as soon as we got back from Branson sooo.... this year Branson should be a very good trip!
