Money saving tip

WonderWabbit

This applies to Shopping at ASDA; using the self-service machines
Doesn't work at TESCO = single slot payment machines.

STOP using the coin banks = machines that take a charge out of converting all your small change in to higher denominations.

ASDA self service machines have similar pour-in coin trays.
Don't pay to change your money, use all that spare change to pay for your shopping. Just pour it in and watch your Amount-to-pay count-down before your eyes. Any invalid coins will just be thrown back as change :T

Maybe people might like to contribute where this can be done at other supermarkets which have suitable machines

Natwast have a machine to do this as well.

But you know how to find out which branches, please?

The only (non-official) list I could find didnt seem very up-to-date.

Sainsbury's local self service tills have similar coin tray, i have been using them for a couple of months to get rid of my coppers.

So that's why I always seem to get all my change in pennies these days!

My local asda does not have the pour in kind you have to feed them one by one, does not impress people behind .

does it not say on the side of the machine the amount you get charged?

Actually my nearest tesco self service has a coin slot not a basket, but the next nearest one has the baskets so I guess it's down to individual stores x

Most Natwest branches have a coin changer though I think you need to bank with them. Maybe someone will correct me.

Metro Bank has coin machines that don't charge and you don't need to have an account with them.

Morrisons near me has the trays you pour coins into - I use it all the time when I need to empty the coin jar. No way am I paying 10%.
