Penny Jar!

I love this post!!! I'm going to start saving £2 coins into a sealed jar and put it towards a holiday. Thanks guys for the inspiration!

I don't save all change as I need it for bus fares but I save all coppers, 5ps and 10ps. Last year I saved a fair bit but this year not so much so far (it's in my sig) but it's a nice extra that I don't really miss.

I have a huge glass jar with lots of coins, but none of the banks near me have coin paying in machines, hence lots of counting out £ worths of little plastic bags...

I love penny jars, they have saved my bacon on more than one occasion! Any change i find lying around the house I put in my jar, I am now tempted to start some new jars after reading all these posts!

i have a tin which I put all less than 50p in, when it's full I take it to coinstar m/c and it pays for my shopping

I don't know if anyone does this but I refuse to use anything smaller than 50p to pay for something, For example if I buy something for 30p and have a 50p, 10p and 20p in my purse I use the 50p and put the smaller coins in a jar.

Am I ocd or being sensible? It adds up over time and every little helps, I think I have about £15 in my jar at the moment which I hope to use on Christmas cards etc as long as things go to plan.
