£2 savers club part 2

nomoneytoday

Don't you think its cheating if you "buy" the £2 coins off a friend?

If I get one in my change it gets "banked", if I get a handful in one transaction then only one gets "banked" or I have to go back to the cashpoint which defeats the object...

£42 banked in Nov
£58 banked in Dec
£32 banked in Jan so far

(£100 paid off a credit card bill, and £32 towards this months £58 cc bill)

EL - We're going to Florida in June for 2 weeks (all paid for by saving in advance so not going into debt for it!:D) so we are saving them towards our holiday spending money. :j

nomoneytoday - I don't consider it cheating to buy them off a friend, and I "bank" all that come my way. If this means I am short of funds, it just makes me more determind to manage :rolleyes: - we eat more out of the store cupboard, and walk where possible when we might usually take the bus!:p Sometimes I have to go to the cashpoint slightly earlier than planned, but I then try and stretch that money out (using store cupboard ingredients, etc) until when it would normally be expected to last. Funnily enough I quite enjoy the challenge (although obviously in an emergency I would just take the £2 coins out of the pot rather than go into debt!).

I read this thread the other day and thought this would be a fabulous idea!

I got my first £2 coin today so I've told my OH to get me a tin to start saving!

Thanks, I'm quite looking forward to not having to dip into my savings too much when my car tax comes round!

Well done for getting another two

I've been reading this thread for a couple of weeks now and decided last week to join in. Duly bought a savings tin from E-Bay (via Quidco of course) and that was delivered yesterday. In the meantime saved £6. Was so excitied yesterday opening my moneybox and saving my coins.

GirlRacer - did you buy one that said 'Sex Kitten' by any chance? That was one I sold on there...

No £2 for me in days and days now - don't know what's going on in Brighton! Trying to stay away from the cashpoint though as cash is tight at the mo.

Decided to koin in the fun, started last week using an old savings 'lion' that fell in love with when my father in law died and has just sat on my desk for years being unused, so now he has a purpose and has £14 in so far!!!

Just asked for the first time if I could have a £2 coin in my change. She said 'are you collecting them?' with a very suspicious look in her eye.

I just started saving my £2 coins, in January I saved £10, a good start!

Where does everyone save their coins? Do you have special tins?
