£2.00 Savers Club 2015

Welcome to the £2 Savers Club 2015.

I am taking over the baton from Purpleofmum2 who has done a superb job in running the thread this year. Thank you.

The aim is to collect every £2 coin you can lay your hands on! It is entirely up to you whether you want to:
A) Save for a particular length of time e.g. monthly or till December 2014,
B)Save for a particular reason e.g. to pay the car insurance, to pay for a family holiday or to buy birthday presents throughout the year,
C) Save until you have a specific amount e.g. £20 or £100 or a pot full!
D) Save for any other reason you can think of...
You are also welcome to do what you wish with the money. Either bank it as you please or at the end of the year or spend it as required.

Above all else remember this is a fun thread, but the aim of this website is to SAVE, so any encouragement, comments or help you can give to others are always very welcome.

Anyone who wishes to join (or be removed though I hope that isn’t the case!) is always very welcome, please just ask and I will add you as soon as I can and allocate you a number. Also if anyone wants to add anything to the list such as a target or a date to aim for etc. then let me know and I will add it. However there is no pressure to do this as many people just wish to be able to save as and when they can.

So that’s it. Start saving, comment regularly and hunt for those £2s. Any questions or comments please ask :D

    Yay! 2015! I'm in again, please, with the same target.

    I didn't post much last year as we had a truly awful one so the pot was constantly dipped into.

    Here's to 2015 being much, much better. Also, I got £8 today, so it's off to a good start.

  • I'm staying in! No. 52 reporting for duty.

    At the moment my current stash has been packaged into tree presents but if any of the intended recipients don't visit over Xmas they will go back in the collection for next year.

    For the time being though, I have one left - £2 and aiming for £100 by Xmas 2015.

    Number 21 here! At ease everyone, at ease. ;)

    I save my £2 coins for my road tax, which is due at the end of October. Anything in addition is just a Brucie bonus. :D

  • Many thanks for setting up the new thread, I'm already on your list and happy to have another go with the same target for 2015 :beer:

  • I collected these this year in a terramundi pot (some rogue one pound coins went in when I had a drought of £2 coins. My pot had £310.


    My aim this year is at least 350 towards a dream Disney holiday in Florida in 2016 or 2017.
