Looking at what I saved on my shop the other day and savings today I have put aside £10 into my new Happy Cash jar.:j It might not always be so rich though.

I didn't do that last year but I think that I will incorporate it this year, I saved £20 in December buying six months worth of coffee while it was on offer. I can only drink decaff because of a hiatus hernia and it is usually very expensive, so any savings are a bonus.

So £20 is going into my pot today

Will put £20 in mine as well.

Thanks x

Would sale items count?

e.g. bought a jumper for £10 in the sale reduced from £15 so would that be a fiver in my happy jar? However, i only bought it because it was in the sale i wouldn't have paid £15 for it so does a saving still apply?

It is entirely up to you.

Hello everyone in coupons and lotto
This morning I have stashed £20 in my Amazon account from completing Pinecone surveys over a few months. Cashed out my points.
The Amazon money will sit in my account till there is something useful we need. It might be a catering pack of tea bags, something for the house or a birthday gift, maybe?

I have a £10 lotto card that I need to cash in so that will make £30 so far in the pot

I have a small tin that came free from M&S when they had a centeneary or something it a small money box shaped like a letterbox with a slot in the top and a latch with a padlock and key.I put all of my roadkill cash in there and any odd coppers or small chage from my purse One of my DGS Henry is brilliant at spotting small coins and they go in it as well Its known as my ice cream tin the saved cash gets when we go on holiday .Last year I had over £86 in total.When there gets to be around a fiver its full so it gets put into a small savings account, I don't often use or see coupons but DD and I do jointly save any Tosco vouchers towards the food on holiday plus any nectar points.I have a Sainbobs voucher that was one of my Christmas presents and that will go towards our holiday food as well.So far we have got around £35 odd saved in vouchers for the holiday shopping.There are 7 of us that holiday together so it does help,plus any two for one deals in tinned stuff gets saved and taken with us.I have a huge bag of pasta that I bought before Christmas for £2.00 stashed away already every little helps :):)

Road kill cash, love it. I do the same, but never heard it called that before. I call them "Pennies from Heaven". I also round up all purchases to the nearest pound and put the change in a pot. Averages at about £15 a month.
