"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

ljaneyr

Oh, I forgot to ask - what do you do with the change you get out? Count it all out to pay in the bank, pour it in the machine in Tesco or something else? My bottle is about half full and needs emptying for a fresh start!

I take my chnage to work and change it for notes. At the station I work at two or three people regularly bring me bagfulls of change and swap em. :cool:

I have not been on for 8 hours and so much to read, its so inspiring to see how many people are saving, surely if it keeps up like this; the total for this year between us all will be MASSIVE!!!!

I belong to Natwest and they have coin counter machines that add up all your change and it goes straight into your a/c (unlike Coinstar who take 9p per £1 commission!)

^ they do?! Is that inside banks?? Sounds great.. I usually use coinstar but as i'm with Natwest that would be sooooooooooo much better...

A very warm welcome, clairelh, CoffeeCup, moneybear123, ailz95, ljaneyr, universalady and 98sidney, it's lovely to have you all with us. Enjoy yourselves saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much

clairelh, good for your hubby's nan and grandad

CoffeeCup, I hope that pot's sorted!

ailz95, well done on getting hubby onside..and if he isn't then you'll sort his pockets! Brilliant.

ljaneyr, that's a good system for budgeting and yes, you're bottle is acceptable, you're not the only one here to have one. Incidentally, we always count the cash at the end, then pop it in the bank's bags and swap it with them or a local PO or shop Just don't ever use any coinstar machine as it'll cost you 8%!!!!!!!

£2 is a great way to start off, malteaser1988.

Well done, redbull, then you can pot what you don't spend like last time!

Great work,Raspberrysauce, good to see you keeping that £1 a day up.

Oh and tell him NO PIES!!!!

Thanks for the giggle, LC 2, though is he STILL after them pies?!!! :eek:

Every penny counts, kerri, even someone elses which is lying on the floor all forlornly!

That's a great idea to include £2ers, e4rub!! :grinheart
