£2 savers club 2025

Hi DigForVictory - lovely to have you back for another year's saving of £2 coins which, as you say, certainly helps with the peaks and troughs at the latter end of the year.  You are #5 this year.  I've re-glued my faithful piggy this year - I'm sure she will do me proud again

So for all the newcomers - first of all a big welcome.  This is such an addictive challenge which you will thoroughly enjoy for the whole year.  Yes, there will be times when there doesn't seem to be any £2 coins (trust me, I've had those moments many times) but then they seem easy to find.

Bit about me - I'm an accountant during my spare time (run my own practice) and a finance officer during the day.  I'm a big fan of spending only what can be afforded so paying cash is my preferred option.  If there is no money left in my 'money bag', then I won't be spending any.  

Where do I find mine?  Well, I'm super lucky in that I've been doing this challenge for quite a few years now so, those around me know that I save them.  Most of mine come from my twice weekly bingo evenings in our village.  Not only is it a nice evening to catch up with friends (and my husband gets to watch all his 'car' programmes on TV in peace ), the evening can be incredibly lucrative as, because they all know that I save them, I'm asked if I want to swap any that come in during the ticket purchases - as if I was going to refuse that opportunity!  My corner shop is also very good but has not had any of late.  As a cash spend person, going to the supermarket can be extremely useful.  Chatting to the cashiers just when I'm about to pay, I often drop in that I collect £2 coins and, if there are any in the till, I will often get one in my change.

Don't forget family and friends - I always have several £1 coins to do swaps with - hate being unprepared as you just never know when the next one will appear 

Happy hunting
