I have completed my printed sheet which I love because it is on my fridge held on by a fridge magnet and I can see it all of the time. Thank You Thank You Can I do this next year.

I've been on the forum for 15 years and have never heard of this challenge until today, thanks to an article on AOL (https://www.aol.co.uk/lifestyle/money-saving-1p-challenge-enables-113546263.html).  If there is one for next year I'd love to join.  I do love a good challenge

October and November have been added to the pot. 
Just the adjusted amount (£55.69) to make it up to the full amount before December is done and I am definitely signing up got the challenge next year, if it continues. This is going towards my house redecoration fund in the spring.

Hello savers. Wonderful to see another year of the 1p challenge wrapping up - thank you to everyone who makes it happen.

Will there be another thread started soon, for 2023?

Thanks,

Forum Team

I hope there will be one for next year as I want to do it for 2023 too, I really enjoyed it this year and it's great to see the saving totting up!

Finally braved the -6 conditions (!) to head into town - and paid in my last instalment.
Mission complete!

1. So to recap - I allow myself a cash allowance each week of £70 and anything left from that goes into my 'Treat' account. That is for cheeky takeaways or meals out with friends to save me using a credit card. That is where I have been saving the amounts from.
2. I also have an extras account for things like paying for repairs or services where you need to pay off £100 or so.
3. And I have my 'Buffer' account which is currently just under 3 months but ideally, because I am a freelancer, that ought to be between 3-6 months.

So... I have decided that... I need to top up my buffer first and foremost. So I will transfer that over and that will go a long way to having a full three months buffer to hand for big expenses. 

Now - where do I sign up for 2023?

Great to see all the saving activity on this thread.

 MSE forum team have asked for a volunteer to run the challenge next year and I have put  my name forward so watch this space if you want to carry on with the challenge into 2023 and I will start a new thread.

Hello everyone! #13 here!

So sorry I haven't posted recently but I have been (virtually) potting away every day and have just popped in my last penny and can declare £667.95 saved for the 4th year running! I have loved doing this challenge again and very much just enjoyed transferring the money across from my special challenge account to live with my other savings in one nice happy family! I'll be making my way immediately to the new thread to join the challenge again for next year - thank you so much enthusiasticsaver for getting us going again! And my new year's resolution is to post more as I so love getting involved in these challenges! 

May I wish you all a happy and healthy 2023 in every way, moneysaving included! xxx
