I’ve just been having a browse on Ebay, looking for nice writing paper (since it’s hard to buy fun/good stuff in shops these days). I came across this for 50 plastic money/coin bags!! For 50p plus £2 (or £2.50 if you choose the wrong posting – he’s got 9 lots) for postage and packaging you can own 50 plastic bags. They are useful bags, but as far as I was aware (unless the banks are being stingey these days), you can get them for free from your bank! They are very useful for getting rid of a small change, like 1ps and 2ps – fill up a bag with £1’s worth of each and take it to a bank where you have an account. The only things to remember are: it needs to the correct amount (although they’ll weigh it to check), no mixed coins, don’t go to the bank when it’s busy or at least do another transaction (at the counter) at the same time – they have to put the money into your account, they can’t just swap it for a larger coin.
Or you could just stick your spare change in a charities collecting tin, saving yourself the hassle and time and helping them gain a bit of money…even if they have to them fill up the bags!
