I do this as well....I have a HUGE Plastic Budweiser Bottle and I put all my loose change into it.

I tend to do my Shopping and stuff like that daily so then whatever change is left in my purse I tend to put in the Budweiser Bottle.

The only problem is that sometimes I have to take it out if I'm very very short of Cash.

This Year I'm hoping to save up for a long Weekend away in Morocco in January for my Birthday...but not sure I'll get there...We'll see...

i had one of those bottles and when i picked it up the bottom fell out!!lol customer kindly brought a glass whiskey one blesss x

I save £2 coins in one of those tins that you can only open with a can opener. Plan to save our holiday spending money in it. Also have another one which I throw the odd tenner in and all lose change and will open that at Xmas.

We have a demijohn and put all our 2ps and 1ps in.We keep ours till just before xmas then cash it all in and it pays for our xmas turkey!!! We do this every year.

Another demijohn saver here everything from 50p down goes in there, also the occasional £1 if I have a lot in my purse. A couple of years ago I bought a car (£100) with the contents, but now I've started every few months to count out one bag each of 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p and hide it away in a cupboard. I have about £45 in the cupboard and there's probably another £50-£60 in the jar. By counting up a few bags at a time it saves the huge job of counting it all up in one go, but the change is still there for when we need it.

I've also started saving £2 coins a couple of months ago, and have £28 saved so far!

Oh, and I used Lloyds' Save the Change so that every time I use my debit card it rounds the amount upto the next pound and puts the change into my savings account.

Needless to say, I am addicted to squirrelling away change LOL!

I've one of those that counts how much goes in...End of the month it gets transferred into the blue telephone box and a count is kept on my spreadsheet. THink it's about a tenner so far

I'm really desperate for a nice moneybox that isn't too expensive, anyone know where I can go for one? I've looked in places like home bargains etc but they were a bit tacky looking :P
