One today from my book stall - nearly snatched it out of the poor woman's hand! Can't believe we've nearly saved £50 in six weeks!

What an expensive lunch £2.10 for a sandwich (i really shouldn't sleep in therefore not have time to make butties) but at least I received another £2 coin.

I thought I'd save my coins in jars of olives. Lidl sell them for 38p and they hold £2 coins nicely. So if you like olives and live near a Lidl (probably an Aldi too) then it might be worth a nose - they will hold £50 perfectly

I keep my £2 in a Lidl spice jar, and have just bought some smarties so I can put 20p-pieces in there. £2s also fit well in the old-style camera film canisters.

I'm now looking for alternative containers for other coins (I know that's not quite on-thread - sorry, greenfingers!:o ). All suggestions welcome, please.

I refuse to spend £25 on a coin sorter, but am obsessing over my mixed up change!

LOL,

I started a good saving idea not so long back,

What i did was, Being a ex-welder i cut 6 pieces of metal (6x6ins) and welded them all together to create a solid box. Used an angle grinder at work and put a slot in one side.

No more "ill just take 3quid out for a Kfc" moments(which happens quite alot) , unless you wont to spend 20mins opening it with a grinder. lol

I think you might be getting some orders. You could insist on payment in £2 coins, I suppose!!!
