Welcome to the Penny Experiment

Ever wondered how far you could make a penny go?

The aim of this blog is to answer this pressing question. Starting off with just one penny me and my trusty companion Jack will see just how much money we can make. Keep checking this blog to keep up to date with this fascinating experiment.

No items found or given to us are allowed to be added to the stake (all items must be purchased with money or items in the stake)
Everything in the stake must in someway have originated from the original penny 

Tactics
As we only have £0.01 to play with we think we will start off in the penny sweet business. Our tactics to start off with are simply to buy a sweet for one pence and selling it for two pence and then buy two penny sweets with the profit and selling those for four pence We're sure you get the gist.
In order to put this task into focus we have decided to set financial goals within given time frames. Our first goal is to take my stake up to £10.00 within 7 days.
