Hi, Would love to join this! DH and I both have sealed tins we are saving in. We're having a mini competition between both of us:
When both tins are full we open each and count...whoever has the most is allowed £50 out of the pot for their own spends as a reward and the rest is pooled for a special event/holiday money etc.
It's motivating both of us to keep saving!! He is saving all his daily change and I am saving £2 coins and my weekly purse change.
Not sure the tin will be full by Christmas but I am hoping so!!!
Thanks!2024 Challenges- Grocery Budget (January £0/£300)
