My recent case: some friends did laundry when they visited this weekend. They asked to borrow 50 cents when they ran short, and being a good host, I obliged. Last night I got ready to do laundry, but I had to hold off because I was short by (surprise!) 50 cents. Today, I got more change after work and got the laundry going. When I did the big move from the washers to the dryers (it's a 2-load day), there was time left on two of the dryers by the guy before me. This saved me a grand total of...you guessed it: 50 cents.
Plus, there were 15 cents left in the washer before I loaded it, so I'm ahead. As a matter of faith, I know this will even out.
