Penny Jars – Updated
Look back down the lines and you will see how I was praising the humble penny jar as a great savings tool. Well I decided to empty mine the other day to cash in what I had pulled out of mine and I was quite plesantly surprised.
The jar, which was only half full looked like it could have about £50 in it. A good catch when you are skint, i may add.
An hour or so of counting led me to £47 plus probably another £2-£3 of extra 1p coins. But well after an hour of counting I did give up and only cashed in £45. But it shows even when times are tough we can still put away nearly £50 each year from just light change.
