Good luck everyone

I Have a coppers and 5p tin set for it, but I also transfer any odd amount under £1 from my main bank account to my savings every day, and whenever I log in or buy something. (love internet banking)

I have now decorated the Quality Street tin in Florida brochure cut outs and put it on the mantle piece next to our MK family photo. DD came home and immediately but the change from her dinner money in (30p),DS declined (typical)

I won the bonus ball game at work so I put the money into my container!

thestevied · 09-10-2012, 06:06 PM

Count me in Donna!

I'm going to wdw next September 21st.

I already have started two money saving tins.... One giant plastic bud bottle that I'm filling with coppers and silvers and one darth maul money box that I'm filling with £2 coins only that I get in my change. Can I start with these?

good luck in finding a jar or pot. A cheap way is to find a Pringles tube, wash it and sealed it with tape and cut a slit in the top

also you get to eat he Pringles too.

love this, hilarious!!

You have some amazing kids!

Just spent a couple of hours counting all the money up (whilst watching the Murray match so thoroughly enjoyed it!). I've got £44 in £2 coins, and £123.70 in coppers and silvers. Just gonna keep going till September next year and see how high I can get it!

My DD and I have just finished decorating an old celebrations tin with Disney pictures. I've added some money to it today I was meant to be going out to lunch with an old work colleague but she ended up bringing lunch to me the money i saved went straight in the pot. It's a start but still a long way to go lol xx

This is a great idea!! Can I join please? We're planning for next May

I haven't got a container yet but I'll find one today and decorate it - cause thats half the fun isn't it

We were given a terramundi pot as a wedding present 5 years ago ;-).

Instead of smashing it DH drilled a hole in the bottom when the time came to empty it 😉
We just seal up the bottom with cardboard now ;-)

We save £2 coins in it & DH puts in the odd £5 or £10 and we are both "forbidden" from spending any that we get!!!

Over the last 5 years we have had well over £1000 from it. :-)

It's all worth it in the end
