    I put my change money in and write it daily in my diary so I can't "borrow" it.:rolleyes:

    I know some people on here have got them from ebay, but I found a site that sell them for £1 for small ones £2 for big one - free delivery on orders over £10.

  • Can I post the name? I have nothing to do with the site just found it when looking for money tins.

    the site is retro36.co.uk have just looked and they have put free delivery up to £15 I ordered 5 tins so I didin't pay delivery they should last me about a year.

    Delivery is £1.95, but I didn't want to pay that cos it was another tin!!

    Hope that helps

    I get my tins like that in the local £1 shop, if their stocks are low I get a few as my dad uses them too but for £1.
    LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
    Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
    Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.00
  • Unfortunatly I don't have a pound shop near me!! Last time I saw some in a local shop the small ones were £1.50 and the big ones £3.99 :confused:

    Used to get them in Tesco around Christmas for kids stockings but didn't have any last year or I would have stocked up - I do like the big ones though because you can fit so much more in them.
