The 50p Savers Thread for 2013 :)

Posts: 18,924 Forumite


I have been here years, in debt, out of debt - back in debt currently and need to get on the MSE bandwagon of being frugal and sensible with money! Nothing works as well as this place for sorting out money related stuff (actually here you can find all sorts of excellent advice)
Now for some saving money in jar is silly - pointless even, put it on the pesky CC bill or in a bank account - apparently people save in banks
However I loved being part of the £2 thread and the Sealed Pot thread. I got huge satisfaction from a full money box!! and using it for Christmas or paying off debts.
So I am starting a 50p saving thread. Any 50p pieces must be collected and saved in a jar/money box/old sock etc.
The Challenge will run from 12/12/12
to 12/12/13 although Savers can join at any point during the year!
You can set a target, perhaps you could save for the Car tax or the TV licence or holiday spending money?
So please post and join me!
Love Buffy xx
who will be out of Debt again
