#18: Emergency Money
If you’ve ever found yourself scrounging around for change in the couch cushions, try this creative (and eco-friendly) solution.

Haven’t we all raided our recycling bins once or twice (or three)? Plus, it’s always nice to know you’ve got a little extra cash on hand in an emergency. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in line at the supermarket with a cart full of groceries and a pocket full of bottle deposits.
