£2 savers club for 2023

DigForVictory

Another tenner swapped at Asda - 4 plain & 1 Darwin! If you have a reliable source, I think you could consider boosting your target?

Hi, am I too late to join?

Welcome Scowles to the challenge.  It's never too late to join in.  You are number 21.

Save as many £2 coins as you can between now and 31 December.  You'd be surprised how it all mounts up  .

Do let us know how you are getting on.

Well done DigForVictory.  As you say, if you have a good source, then you can get your pot nicely full.

I had bingo last night.  Another 9 coins in the pot for me today.  All plain except a DNA coin, but all welcome!

I'm off to a wedding reception on Friday evening so will see if I can get my hands on a couple more from behind the bar

I've had an excellent week of potting £2.  In total, another £30 added.  Seems the gentleman at bingo is having a good clearout, many of which are picture coins.  Needless to say, they've ended up in my palm and duly potted safely with the others  .  2 came from my local butchers when I popped in with my mum and I ended up buying some belly pork!  3 more came from the village shop (had to buy eggs as none in the supermarkets) and I only had a £10!  The rest came from bingo.

This weeks collection include:
5 x 200th Anniversary of the First Steam Locomotive by Richard Trevithick
1 x 60th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War
1 x 350th Anniversary of the Guinea - don't think I've ever had this one!

Happy potting everyone

I’ve had a good run recently, DH buys me a scratch card each week when he gets the lottery. I won £20 and he got me £2 coins when he cashed it in for me 😂🎉

Oh that's good mummytummy.  My hubby is also now getting better at spotting £2 coins in his change.  He used to spend them but now keeps them safe to swap with me when he gets home.

Today Asda required me to buy something, but then sorted me £2 coins & 10 pences for the scout easter egg roll.. Ah well, 4 plain is better than nothing..
