£1 a day

Kazz · 29-12-2007, 04:52 PM

Yesterday I started my £1 a day jar.

To explain I put a £1 a day then have the money for Christmas food etc etc 360 approx...sometimes add a little more to the jar if I claim petrol meoney from work or something.

Works well and I do not even miss it.

Maybe worth trying

Put it in a glass jar that you seal the lid then you would have to break the jar to dip in.

What a good idea Kazz, it would soon mount up and it's nice to see the pile grow..

For years now I have saved 50p coins, also since they came out a few years ago...£2 coins. I save them up in £20 bank bags and when I have 5 of them I buy a Premium Bond..

It's a brilliant idea of saving for Christmas though, it won't come so hard on the pocket when December arrives. People would just have to find the will-power to leave the kitty untouched

That's what I lack Mags, willpower lol!

In that case convert it to pennies....much less tempting to use pennies

You could do it if you set your mind to it Alex ........ why not start with 50p - that would give you £180 odd for next Christmas

When I first started working and was quite poor, the Savings and Loan in the building had a Christmas Club. You put in a small amount, or whatever you could, throughout the year, it collected interest, not much, but still nice, and the best thing was, you couldn't withdraw from it! So no temptation! And you got a check on December first! I have no idea if they still offer that, but it was a lovely idea...

I used to save 20p's as well when they were first minted .....I get far too many of them now though.

When they eventually bring out the £5 coin I'll save that and drop the 50p's..
