Save 5p pieces

Eveybody saves coppers, but save 5ps as well, you'll be surprised how they add up!

  • My boyfriend saves 5p coins in a Sol bottle (330ml glass bottle, similar to Corona). He must have quite a lot in there by now as it's nearly at the top. I'm estimating £20-30.

    I save all coppers and all silvers upto 20p. I then bag it up when my jar gets full :)

    I save all my change and then bag it up and use it at boot fairs in the summer, that way I don't notice i've spent so much! I give anything left to the kids to give out at the local Charity events and Carnivals.
