£2 Savers Club for 2021

Went to the local butchers today. Bill came to £15.30. After asking if they wanted change and handing it over, I realised that I could have paid with a £20 note and received two £2 coins. Doh!
That is what my husband would have called an own goal!!!!

The self-service till let me right down - I paid a £1 bill with a tenner, and what did I get? A fiver and four poxy pounds! Not impressed! BUT Mummy T came to my rescue as she owed me £10 and she gave it to me in the form of five plain but beautiful £2 coins! So that saved the day and I now have a lovely £12 in my Christmas pot!

#18 with another plain coin potted.
Hope everyone is ok with the bad weather, know some parts have floods and when I went to work yesterday afternoon in the pouring rain, I never expected to have to walk home in the snow at 10pm. No work now until Sunday so doubt I will add any coins over the nextt three days£2 Savers Club for 2022 #121 -

So I gave Mr. T another chance - paid £1.50 with a fiver, but did I get a £2 coin in my change!? No I did not! BUT in another little win, the previous user of the self-service till had left a small bundle of change in the change tray, so at least I'm 10p up
Hope everyone else has better luck than me! xxx

Another coin today in change. I’m not sure how I feel about swapping money for £2 coins ... I could just take £100 to the bank and get 5 bags of £2 coins. I like seeing what I can get and it’s all chance. It was a mini moment of joy to get a £2 coin in my change today
