Are you doing Australia’s new $2 Coke Bottle Challenge? It’s the easiest way to make $3,000!

Everyone is talking about it! - by Nikki Black
  • 07 Apr 2019

It’s the new savings challenge that all of Australia is talking about right now - and it’s the EASIEST way to make serious cash!

Thousands of people around the country have embarked on the $2 Coke Bottle Challenge, and have revealed just how easy it is to save $1000, $1900 and even $2960 in no time at all. 

Are you doing Australia’s new $2 Coke Bottle Challenge? It’s the easiest way to make $3,000!

So how does it work? All you have to do is pop any loose $2 coins you have into an empty Coke bottle. And basically, the bigger the coke bottle ... the bigger the savings!

But as this photo shows, even with just a 600ml bottle as a base you can easily save $1000. Make it a 1.25-litre bottle and your savings rise to $1900 - and with a two-litre bottle, you’re looking at nearly $3,000. Woah!

Social media users have been quick to talk up how they’re loving the challenge - and how easy it is. 

‘Yes just started this year already got about $250 or so saved just from loose $2 coins laying around randomly and has only taken like 2 months if that can't complain ha ha,’ revealed one on the Markdown Addicts Facebook group.

Added another: ‘Yes just started this year already got about $250 or so saved just from loose $2 coins laying around randomly and has only taken like 2 months if that can't complain Haha.’

Said a third: ‘I did the $2 coins in 600ml and got $980.’ Added one more: ‘Me and my partner did this, it’s a really good idea.’

Others on the Markdown Addicts Facebook group have revealed that they used other containers - not just Coke bottles - to kickstart their savings. 

Said one: ‘1.25kg Milo tin = $4002 👌🏼’ Woah! Another added that she’s already saved $1019 this year with several savings challenges: ‘I started at the beginning of the year , I’m also saving $5 notes too. I’m saving for a cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary in just under 2 years. In 3 months I’ve saved $1019.  $5 = $490, $2 = $410, $1 = $119.’

Said another: ‘Who knew Coke could be so worth it.’

Ha! We totally agree. Now, we’re off to buy a bottle of Coke ... with a $10 note so we get lots of loose change!
