Some coinstars now offer the ability to get an amazon.com giftcard instead of cash and don't charge a fee if you do it that way. Since amazon just added a grocery store, even if you really need that money there isn't any reason not to get the gift card as long as you spend the money on things you would have to buy anyway.
My husband and I do not spend change ever, so when we go to coinstar we generally have $400-$500 worth. It's always exciting.
