Title: 99p
Post by: loulou on August 01, 2006, 01:12:52 am

You buy something for 99p and hand over £1. Do you wait for the penny change or not?

I usually get it. I have a piggy bank and put all loose copper in, then
once it has built up, put it in bags and take it to the bank.

Yes. It all adds up. Plus they call you back for your receipt anyway so you may as well take the penny too!

Exactly. In one of the pound shops I go in, they literally force receipts upon you.

I buy a lot of household stuff from the 99p Store now, so I have loads of 1 and 2p pieces. They all go in coin bags ready to be taken to the bank.

My husband saves 1p, 2p and 5p bits and puts them in a holiday account.

I usually take the penny. I collect all my change and take it to Asda to put in that change converter thingy. It takes 7% for doing it.

I do that too Lou.  Recently a friend wanted me to take her there to show her how it worked and she dropped the whole lot all over the floor (something like £20 worth of 1p and 2p pieces).  She's one of those people who gets embarrassed really easily too - I just stood there and laughed like the kind friend I am. (I did help her pick it all up though, once I'd stopped laughing).goldencup38931.6458564815
