Does anyone here use one of those pots you need to break open to get into?

Options
I buy them every 6 months to a year and last time they helped me save £140. This was 8 months of just odd quid here odd quid there so didn't really miss it from my change, but it mounted up to a nice amount.

Anyone else user these?

    My kids have them for their pocket money but it's the tin one's where you use the tin opener(not the kids) last time they had over a hundred quid each too. I use an old peanut tin for my silver and usually get about a hundred odd quid every few months, just from change in my pocket and only 5/10/20 pences.

    There is another thread I think in the money savers forum.
    Thanks to all the competition posters.

    Were can you get these from I normally use the tins you use a tin opener to open but I tend to open them as u can still put money in once they opened but with the other ones you can't which will help me out alot :)
    :santa2: :rudolf:
    :D
  • I don't have a Terramundi pot but I do have a money tin that requires the tin opener to open. I bought it after being inspired by the Sealed Pot Challenge, where we put money into a Sealed Pot for a year and see how much we can save. I started about this time last year and have at least £100 in just now. It's due to be opened in December :)

    Nope I do as said and use an up to date method called banking, maybe as a wee child I would have but feel I am a bit to old now for having a little piggy bank.

    Not a "piggy" bank as such. Their like ceramic pots you have to smash to get into. Put I have seen the pig ones as well. (their the shape of a winnie the pooh honey pot :P)
