    I feel your pain CazzieLT - I’m starting to think they’ve stopped filling the self service machines with them at MrT’s.  Not a single shiny coin from there so far this month  :(.  But my corner shop continues to come up trumps. Have potted a further 3 so far this month thanks to them  :)

    CassieLT, sorry to hear that you were not successful. When hubby and I were last at Mr A, which was last year, we received one £2 coin out of a possible two coins that we could have collected. 
    If the queues are not too long, I prefer to go through the person operated tills so that I can ask for them in my change. 
    Hubby and I haven't been out, so no new £2 coins for me at the moment.

    On our walk this morning we popped into the butchers, picked up some meat and a plain £2 coin. 😁
