Change pot bonanza

£207 in bags.  £242.65 total.

Nice.

Not quite Corfu for Christmas

But it's a start.  My new money box is nearly full.

£381 bagged

I bagged most of that money from my change pot. Now to cart it into work. To get changed to cold hard cash.

Not a bad savings scheme  with interest rates the way they are at the moment. If I average it out, I reckon up to a grand per year.

Change pot

£394.83. Not all baggable but still not bad.

£75 in my change pot

I've got a change pot (Pewter pint tankard stolen from a Davy's wine bar) where I put all my change in each night. I took it to the Sainsbury's machine (charge 8%) and I took out a clean £69 (£75 real money) ! Not bad really.

My current rule is all money in my pockets go in there each night including £1 and £2, but each morning I take out £1.20 for a tea on my way into work.

Quartery change pot cash in

£66 in baggable bags, another £10+ in assorted change. I'm going to take the £10 of change to Sainsbury's today as it's all rubbish small denominations.

Plus I like the idea of starting afresh in my new house.

The down side of not waiting for a full bag and taking it to the bank is that the machine takes about 8% and give it to charty. 80p. Boo!
