    When I was in Aldi today I made the mistake of asking the cashier if she had any £2 coins. I was then given 6 of them! :rolleyes:
    So what a choice...should I pop them all in my tin or not? :confused:
    Well actually I couldn't afford to as I needed to spend 2 of them in Asda! So I popped 4 of them in instead! :j

  • Right, I'm back on track with this - DH raids the £2 piggy bank every day so they are being spent as quick as they are being saved :angry: So, I have started to transfer them from the piggy bank to a little tin - DH is none the wiser and already have £8 after only 2 days! :T Will bank the coins every time I reach £20

    Three more today - yippee!:T

    Mind you, my shopping came to £4.09 and I paid with a £10 note and gave the lady on the till the extra 9p (to get rid of some coppers!). I wasn't expecting 3 x £2 coins in the change...!!:o

    On the one hand: HAPPY!:j

    On the other hand: that was one expensive trip to the supermarket!!!:rolleyes:
