Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 12

EverTheOptimist

Hi everyone.

Congratulations on the new arrival Sue. Lovely news. :heart2:

Only £1 potted this week. But it's getting ever closer to payday so running low on pennies. Hopefully have something to pot tomorrow after popping to the shops.

Have a good weekend all.

Good afternoon everyone! :hello:

Sue-UU - you're right... no coins were lurking near the rock where I smashed my head. Still a little sore. At least a penny for my troubles?! Nothing. At least you've been generous and given me a new number. Thank you! xxx

A shiny £2 coin in my change today. I nearly kissed the shop assistant, but I thought it might be a tad strange. Another 62p added for good measure - along with the £4.95 that I didn't spend at Slimming World... So that's erm, *uses fingers to count* £7.57 in total. :j :j

Hi, Sue,



Can I please rejoin again for this coming year? Also, would prefer to keep my old number - bear of little brain here has just managed to learn it....


Congratulations on the little one - how exciting!

Hi Sue uu can I join please. The MSE site helped me clear my mortgage 10 years early a few years ago. I feel the forums help keep you focused on things - virtual friends never judge. I am not saving for anything in particular, but aim to save something everyday - even if it’s a penny. I am hoping to cut down on my alcohol intake so I think if I were to save the money that I were to spend on that both my purse and health should benefit. I have a container ready. Also I have noticed that in the last year I have been using ‘contactless’ for purchases on my debit card - it’s amazing how quick you get through your money - I plan to draw a set amount of cash out every week and any change left each week will go into my sealed pot, it will also encourage me to think of ways of saving money on spends that could also go into the pot. I don’t spend much money over the Christmas period - as I give library books as gifts and email Christmas messages - but I alway gift to a animal sanctuary, age concern and a homeless charity.
Hope to her from you soon

Impressive how much you are all able to save. I am guessing a lot of people on here use cash primarily rather than cards. I don't tend to use much cash- so don't tend to get much unallocated change. Only times I use cash are weekly take away (£25 budgeted- actually amount varies between £23 and £25 depending on what I get and where from- yesterday's for example was £24.30) Quiz night a pub (£15 budgeted- 2 drinks each plus taxi- DB (dearly beloved) pays same (or more if he has an extra drink)) = £40- On average I get £0.80 from quiz change and £1.20 from takeaway, which go to pay window cleaner. Window cleaner is £8 every 4 weeks. I mainly use my card for spending. I get paid weekly and do put aside any unspent money in my spending bank account aside into savings at the end of the week (though apparently that doesn't count for sealed pot...…). Still challenges like this inspire me not to waste money, to think before I spend, to keep an eye on where I can buy what I need for less. I won't officially join because I would not be posting every week with an update as I would not have anything to add every week.

Sue has left the other thread open until the end of November, so it's still available here to post your pot total! And welcome back. :j :j

I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been doing something similar for a while with my spare change.

If it's not too late I'd love to join Can't wait for end of Oct next year and see how much I've saved!
