"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

Office_Knowall

Hi All
I'm new to these forum things but I would like to take part in this one. I am not good at saving but I want to set a good example to my kids.

My target is £200, I have already made a start by putting in my tin any £2 coins that I get in change plus any 'shrapnel' I have in my purse at the end of the day.

Please could I have a number Sue.

Thanks and wish me luck!

Thanks very much and to Sue too makes it seem very friendly. I doubt I'll be putting anything in today but I'm going to check my car for loose change. Also can't believe how well some people are doing and have done over the years! It makes me more determined to try and also how much I might be able to save.

hiya mumwithamission

i know exactly what you are saying, i applaud you because really we all need to do this and be a mission about it, there was no phone no on the receipt but today as im going that way to another town to check out mr mor***ns will pass by and i taking back the receipt and the out packaging of the bread which the downpriced evidence and i believe i should have that 42 p in my pot and not in their profits

i know i know others may think im crazy but there is always a method in my madness:rotfl:

so lets all check out receipts and stand up and i always complain with a smile on my face because its never the cashiers fault always the backoffice for not updating their computers to reflect the correct price to be charged once goods are scanned

have a fun day this morning ive just chucked in lots of coins in my little pot didnt bother counting today.

laters maz;)

Yay! Got my money back today. Staff were lovely - apologetic and have 'dealt with the error'. Shall check EVERY receipt in 2012

Plemo, the sweep with your bank sounds ok to me, though I'm not completely sure what you mean. If you could be a bit more explicit it'll help, but for now I'll say a conditional yes.

HI Sue,
Thanks for setting me up! I cleared the copper pot and have moved £2.30 into my sealed pot.
What I meant by bank sweep is that when I buy anything with my debit card, my bank rounds it up to the nearest pound and deposits the difference into another account. What I have been doing is waiting until it gets up to £10 and then moving it back into the main account. Which is a bit pointless! I have seen the virtual sealed pot challenge, but I would like to do just this one this year and see how it goes.

Thanks!
