Local eggs and honestly box - exact change?

Posting here for traffic.

local farm puts eggs out for sale and has an honesty box. Eggs are £1.70. We mostly use card/cashless and so sometimes have exact change but often only have £5 note or £1 or £2 coins.

do you think you should only buy with exact change? Is it acceptable to put £2 in and then pay slightly less next time? Put £5 in and take next one free and put in 10p next time?

I assume they don’t want wastage but also don’t want to be short changed! What do you think is reasonable?

They won't know you are the same person who sometimes leaves more/ less. I'd hate for someone to think I'd underpaid on purpose so I'd either round up (leave £2) or not buy and go back another time.

Sound ok to me, if you leave a note
