Filled a glass demi john years ago and there was nearly £300 in it when it was emptied. Used the money to buy a puppy. He is now 6 and it was the best £250 ever saved for and spent.
:j:jBecome Mrs Pepe 9 October 2012 :j:j
been pondering "what" i can put in as im saving allsorts already.... finally think I have the answer;)
We are heading to the UK for xmas/new year and whilst there i am going to be stock piling:-
head n shoulders
Nescafe
bread flour
bisto gravy granules
tea bags
lamb oxo cubes
weetabix..hmmm think thats all i have thought of for now
and hubbies head n shoulders is about £5.25 a bottle...
so i will bring loads back and then every time i take something from the "store" i will put how much it would cost for me to buy it here in my tin.. should build up quite a nice amount..and if i get anything "whoopsied" here i will put the difference in the tin too :j
another savings challenge ..yippeee:D
just thought of another way I can squirrel away more :j ... i will be growing lots of salad n veggies this summer (allready have my tubs, compost and seeds)...so once i start to harvest stuff from my tubs -I will put 5euros a week into the tin, as i would be spending more than that on greens a week..
every little helps
Don't I get excited easily :rotfl:
I have almost £30 saved in my large pink piggy bank from Clintons, think it was £12.99. It just as a stopper at the bottom, although could be covered in brown parcel tape if needs be
I'm going on holiday next August/September, so may have to open it around then, although will still carry on saving throughout.
Great thread

Debt: £11850
Will count the money I already have in the bottle next week (only a few £££) and start again on 1st.
Gah!! STOP TALKING ABOUT TERRIMUNDIS!!
I want one soooo much
My brother is buying one for my xmas present (I hope, if I don't get one he's in trouble!)
I will join in this challenge too, I don't use cash very often, so don't usually have change. Although I've got a good thing going at work, all my collegues hand over their small change to me
I have some pennies saved already, but will start afresh from the 1st of Dec, that way I can make sure of the correct total next year. I think I will use the cash for something nice for me next xmas, not sure what yet thou.
