Since the holiday season is [del]approaching[/del] here, you could bake the $$$ into a fruitcake. In most instances, that would insure no-one would touch it, with the added benefit of being able to keep for years and years and years.
Otherwise I like the catfood bag or other food container suggestion. Especially some sort of unprepared food that a person wouldn’t just idly open and snack from.
This is my favorite so far. Nice combination of funny and practical, and for extra bonus points you incorporated the word “butt.” A+. As with a Thanksgiving turkey, however, one must take care to remove the giblets before cooking the bird.
A couple to several hundred, and I’ll be driving myself there (only about a 30-45 min drive). If I’m at the bank anyway, I’ll be depositing it – see below. But immediately post-yard sale it’s an enormous amount of ones and twenties, plus a large pile of quarters.
True dat.
Don’t forget banks are closed on Sunday evenings (when the yard sale was finally over) plus today is a U.S. holiday (Veteran’s Day) so the soonest I’d be able to make a deposit is tomorrow on my lunch break.
When I finally CAN deposit @ the bank waves at Leaffan I’ll be depositing most but not all of it, for this exact reason.
Yep. Oh, and thanks for sticking up for me, too - gave me a bit of the warm fuzzies.

So long as you’re not moving to Australia, or my house.
My parents used to use a box of baby wipes to hide the day’s takings in, until it got too battered.
Or inside a video cassette case, preferably one with a label like this. The main hazard of that is that people may give you more horrible 80s videos…
If it’s just a few hundred dollars, why not just put it in a jar and throw it in the trunk of your car?
If you must hide it, I’d put it in a ziploc bag and put it in some large-ish foodstuff container. Maybe a box of cereal or a container of flour. Or else pull the faceplate off of a light switch or receptacle and put the cash in the junction box. No coins though, and flip the breaker before you start.
