There is nothing Mrs Welshstacker loves more than dragging poor old me and 1/2 pint out on a Sunday morning to do some pointless shopping. You know the kind I mean.... The kind where she doesn't know what she wants till she sees what she wants!!! But for some reason she is compelled to get up and not only go shopping on Sunday but insist we go with her, and I know why this is, it's because if it's really busy I can drive and she just jumps out and leaves me to fight for the parking spaces. #firstworldproblems
Right I thought to myself, if I have to be here why not take some pictures and make a blog about it. So this is me trying to spend my £2 silver Britannia here in Asda (or Walmart in the USA).
We do the usual walking up and down the aisle looking for some pointless bargain!! Now although I don't have any rules for my #silverchallenge it's easier if I can find 1 item under £2 so that I can just hand over the britannia on its own for full effect.
This is where the tupperware aisle comes in handy. So what do I need?? You can never have enough cereal containers, so that's what I bought and a bargain at £1.99 reduced from £4.
Practical and does exactly what it says in the box.
Now the big question is, do I still have my britannia??
The lady at the till was a little bit older than the other sales assistants/cashiers I've dealt with so far in this #silverchallenge. So I was a bit worried that she would have her head screwed on, know exactly what it was and I'd be kissing goodbye to my coin. Not the case this time suckers!! She thought it was a £5 coin (made from cypro-nickle) and said that she could not accept it. I feel so relieved what I hear those words. So after she hands it back I give her the 2 X £1 coins and wait for my change. Now that it's safely back in my pocket I explain what it is and what my point was for doing it. You know when you get that glazed over look from people who really don't care, well I got one this morning....
Where to next? Someone did say a sports shop to buy a football.... It's a good a place as any. Wish me luck.
One day they will know it's value, and they will wish they took you up on your offer!

Ha! There is a lady that works for me...she is a super nice lady...I was explaining to her over the holidays about the brief history of money and how we are all getting screwed and the difference between money, currency and a note. She honestly didn't care and just wanted to tell me about the concert she was going to. Some people just want to be told what to do and are happy being sheepole.

I think this is a great experiment. Have you ever had anyone take the silver?

Not yet, luckily. Once it's gone I'm not going to use another 1. I have already said that if it's not gone by end of march I'm going to donate the 1oz coin to charity. So I'm set to lose it what ever way

That's it? Walmart? Your lucky. Isle to isle is probably and hour and your back to watch NFL. My wife (I call her Ivan the Terrible) would drag us all to Nordstum and any attached venue for half the day.
Try a gold dime...
