The 50p Savers Thread for 2014 :)

A question about : The 50p Savers Thread for 2014 :)

Hello Folks,

I am still in debt! to the tune of about 4600 pounds. BUT it is going down!

Nothing works as well as this place for sorting out money related stuff (actually here you can find all sorts of excellent advice about pretty much everything)

Now for some saving money in jar is silly - pointless even, put it on the pesky CC bill or in a bank account - apparently people save in banks

However I loved being part of the Ј2 thread and the Sealed Pot thread. I got huge satisfaction from a full money box!! and using it for Christmas or paying off debts.

In 2013 I saved 199.10 in my Sealed pots. Only 10.50 of that was fifty pences! but it is a start and a start is better than nothing

Here is the link to the previous thread,

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=4339999

And so to this thread, I have a purple troll for my 50ps and he has promised me he will look after my 50ps for me.....

The only rule is

1. Any 50p pieces must be collected and saved in a jar/money box/old sock etc. (or even paid into a bank if you are a bit strange )

The Challenge will run from 14/12/13 to 12/12/14 although Savers can join at any point during the year!

You can set a target, perhaps you could save for the Car tax or the TV licence or holiday spending money?

So please post and join me!

Love Buffy xx

• Just went to the charity shop to see if they had a bit of tinsel to brighten up our side window, and not only did they have some georgous purple high quality tinsel, they had 4 pieces for Ј1.50........ so I also gained a 50p piece in change! Headed for my pot when I get home.
• Hello 50psavers
  Happy Christmas!
  So... not finished my shopping, not fed the troll and can't get the similes to work! (also had to hand over a 50p to the cab driver tonight!)
  However I have updated the list! see post two and am very much looking forward to the new year!
  If you want to join or I have left you off the list (very sorry) please let me know by posting here.
  I really need all the money I can get to buy a new car so this challenge is very important. I am using this and my virtual sealed pot to save.
  So members how we doing?

• I'd like to join please!
  I like 50ps there s something quite satisfying about them, I think it's because up until now they have been prized for parking but a change of job means I no longer need them for this so I will save them all up!
  I think I will save them for nothing more exciting than DH's Christmas pressure.
• Haha I think my iPad knows my mind better than I do!
  But yes supermarket claustrophobia kicked in earlier! I love a Christmas hate the pressure of it!
  I have a complete aversion to parking costs, wasted money in my eyes!
  I have raided my purse, potted my first 50p and found Ј2 x 2 in rate pot but no keys to access it so I suspect my 50p fund will do well if I can't raid it!
• Couple of 50p's gleaned over the weekend, where are they all? Probably in everyone's pots.
  Calm day in town yesterday, and today the queue for W***rose went all ther way down the road, past the roundabout and then on as far as the eye could see. Is food running out or what?
• A butchers in town about 10 miles from us had 3hr queues and 1 woman who was interviewed on the local radio got there at 6am this morning... it is a good butchers but 3hrs! x
• Hello,
  Please could I join your challenge? I get quite a few 50p's from the work canteen so would like to put them to good use!
  Thanks
