£2.36

[LEMtheoriginal]

Left in my purse. Its spare money - what can i buy?

Two large chocolate bars

236 penny sweets. Oh wait, this is 2018.
😭

As many as 2??

Go Poundland, you might find something. They sometimes have branded nail varnish, or some bath oils.

You can buy penny sweets where I live. Maybe I don’t live in 2018.

I’d either go to the greasy spoon for a bacon sandwich and a coffee or save it for tonight and buy a bag of spring rolls for my tea from the Chinese and eat them sat outside when they are all hot.

Two bottles of elbow grease and a Lidl bottle of bleach.

It would buy the teen a day bus ticket so she could go raid the charity shops in town.

So in effect it would buy me an entire afternoon of peace.

Buy 4 shares in BP?

Poundland - buy a cleaning product or two, and drop them in a food bank collection point. They are desperate for household items like that.

I would take my baby to soft play. The opposite to an afternoon of peace!

Whoooo Crappy womens' magazine like Take a Break for the lols, packet of crisps, chocolate bar. My go to when needing a treat but skint.

I would take my baby to soft play

For just a couple of quid?! Wow, ours is nearly a tenner! And about a fiver for adults!

Our soft play is £1 for babies under a year. £1.36 would get Mum a cuppa.

Save it. If you have £2.36 again spare you'll have £4.72 and so on - and you get better value-for-money for more expensive things than for cheap things. (ie anything bought for £4 is generally more than twice as good as something similar bought for £2) so in the long run you are better off saving for something good rather than spending on something poor-quality that you can afford sooner.

Branded male up / nail varnish in Poundland.

Make up not male up

Flowers. Always flowers.

Depends where you live, doesn't it. I'd get a regular americano if I used my own cup (so got the discount), and spend the other 6p on sweets.

It appears upthread that you could get a whole bacon sandwich and coffee for the same amount if you lived somewhere cheaper.

Or I'd spend £1.50 on a bus and go somewhere interesting and free (or that cost less than 86p ).

Give it away! It's £2.36 with no particular purpose; send it on an adventure in a busker's hat.

In London, a formerly-1p sweet. In Northern Scotland, a four bedroom detached house.

Definetly go to Poundland and buy yourself something tasty to eat or drink and something that takes your fancy!

I was being naughty with this thread as there have been a few asking what they could do with large amounts of money.

However there are some lovely ideas on here - so im off to check just how much i actually have in my purse and will use it to treat myself and dd (13) who is on half term. Im also having a week off.

Well, Lem, you could get five to seven bags of Aldi's own brand sweets with that and share them with me obvs

Two Greggs sausage rolls. Divine.
