The "Every Penny's a Prisoner" Thread

I know I mentioned the 300 pennies fuel voucher the other day, but today I actually used it! I also found 100 pennies (in the form of a pound) between my car seat and the handbrake, but I cant quite fish it out!!

I just saved 3 whole pennies by swapping a tin of non bashed beans for a tin of bashed beans in car crash corner when doing my shop - lol.

I like that the 3 pence is in my pocket and not Mr T's

I like this thread and the above by freebyfifty sums up it's ethos "...in my pocket and not Mr T's"

Found only 1p yesterday but like all the others it's now in protective custody

288p saved yesterday on garlic bread for the freezer and 388 saved today on an online order for an item that was out of stock when originally ordered - so that was really not such a saving as I've had to pay postage twice.

I have managed to get through my share of the food budget this week in record time so have been living out of the freezer a lot which has saved lots of pennies but in a passive kind of way. Still prisoner pennies are prisoner pennies and the bank account is healthier than it's ever been, which feels like a really nice present in itself!

At the moment it's as though I'm the most lax prison guard ever.

However I did find a penny wren in all the sorting and packing which has clearly been a family prisoner for years....does that count??

Have you been letting your prisoner run amok???

Or are they just doing Community Service??? As long as they are working hard for you and turning up when they're supposed to, all will be well

How are all the penny prsioner guards doing?

I have to say that all mine are still safely under lock and key, I haven't spent a single unplanned penny since last week.:T

I have, however, been releasing some to pay my debts - which is the whole point, I suppose

I have kept mine under lock and key (although a few will escape on Wednesday or Thursday )

Have had a good day - found a total of 23p in change when out and about today. Into the money boxes they go!
