There's one on EBay with about an hour to go for bids - currently £21, so that's a chunk off your savings.....

There's also another with >20 hours to go - current bid £9.95.

i know i have looked but the whole point is for saving so i dont wanna shell out like £20 its not really a good start!!

thanks for the info i might head down the ebay road then lol

Then don't. Start with a tin or something and if you see something later on use that. I doubt you are going to fill up a tin of money within a week!

thanks lokolo i have a big jar that is almost full this is why i want a big whiskey bottle i am going to ask around and maybe have a look at the car boot on sunday

Have you not tried counting the money up, putting it in bags and banking it? It may lower the amount in the jar

Look, it's the savings that is the important bit here, not what you save it in. I doubt very much if anyone has a large dimple haig bottle lying around with nothing in it, they would have passed it onto a friend for saving in. Get yourself something you like the look of - but it really doesn't matter what it is.

HI,

Why dont you ask at your local pub or resturant?:beer: they mite give you one i dont think paying out £21 to save in would be wise. Many years ago i got a plastic coke bottle & cut the top off & i save in it i reckon it must be 15 years & it holds a lot so recylce a lemonade bottle it i'l do the same job & happy saving:T :T

I know its not the same but you can often get lookalike plastic whisky savings bottles in shops like poundland etc. Might be worth having a look around.

I keep my coppers and 5p pieces in a green biscuit tin from Germany. Every now and again my granddaughters help count them up and put them in bags. BUT (and it's a big but if you're going to be serious about this) - which bank is going to take all your bags an bags of coins when you want to change them for real money. The supermarkets take 8p in the £ which I think is a bit rich. And a lot of banks are really not happy about taking in coin.
