"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

MrsShazbat

If you're a customer at the bank, then they should as long as it's all bagged up correctly. Failing that, use a CoinStar machine, although it takes a small commission. Only thing with that is some stores, in particular, only offer coupons (although I'm sure they're supposed to offer cash as well).

Yes, we regularly pay in a load of change into our account also, so long as it's bagged up they're happy to accept it

Took my own lunch into work today, so put the change in my pocket in the pot, which I'd have otherwise spent on sarnies etc - £2.13 gone in today!

£5.41 today, another 1p roadkill!

Just looking for some advice! I have a coffee jar almost filled with coins (coppers and silver) but my bank won't change them! Any ideas where I could get them changed? Ideally I'd like to put them in a savings account (just so they are not lying around the house) but I'm not sure if the building society will accept them either. Thanks

Daisy: the only thing I can think of now is to go to the bank ask for money bags & then pay it into your current account & then take it out again in notes - hope this helps i'm sure others will be along soon with some more ideas


Sue : ah all is clear now re the comment earlier ( ada & cissi)

Thank you Sue-uu, mumwithamission, MrsShazbat, Bellassz1 and seriouslyfrugal. I'll give it a go. I've got some bags in the house but I'll need to get more tomorrow. I seem to remember from a while back that a friend was refused this service even though she banked there and the coins were bagged. I think that's a bit off really but I'll try them and see.

Thanks again

I most certainly can, McDeeFamily. A very warm welcome to you. Have fun saving. You'll find your number 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.

All the best to you all.

No problem, seriouslyfrugal, just unsure which he is!

Well done on successfully budgeting, moomi, but how come your pot isn't sealed??????!

It's only because I need the change swapped over for bus fats, school bits. & bobs etc but I just take out an exact amount, say £5 and replace it wit a £5 note. Ooh I hope that's ok or have I broke the rules? :eek:

Bus fats!! Haha bus fares!
