Found Money Blog: Two Dimes Are Mine

Today I walked to the grocery store to get my free Fry's (Kroger) item. It was a small container of Nestea Liquid Water Enhancer. I got the lemonade tea flavor. Bet it'll be good on one of those hot summer days coming up.

By the way, if you get an account with Fry's (or whatever your Kroger store is called), they'll send you an email each week with a link to downloading the free item to your card. You just buy it and the price is automatically deducted from your total. Yay! Love free stuff.

Nestea Liquid Water Enhancer 52 ML (Pack of 12)

So, in front of the grocery store I found a dime under a vending machine and in the store I found another dime on the floor.

What a Way to Start the New Year! Found $1.23

Today I needed some black-eyed peas to eat this new year day, so I walked to Fry's grocery store. It was a little chilly out; the high was only 46 but while I was moving, it felt pretty good. I'm so glad I went because I found $1.23 total!

Here's what and where:

• a quarter on a ledge under a soda vending machine outside the store
• 2 dimes and 2 quarters in the copier change tray inside the store
• a token (It says No Cash Value, so I'm not sure what it is.) and a Mexican 50 cent coin on the counter of the coin vending machine in the store
• a penny on the sidewalk in front of a Red Box movie machine outside the store
• a quarter in a drive through of a chicken joint
• a penny in front of the dumpster in my complex
• another penny but I can't remember where I found it!

I was thrilled to say the least to bring in the new year by finding 11 coins! I won't count the token dealie or the Mexican coin in my found money total, but it's still fun to find them!

I predict that 2015 is going to be a great year! Happy new year to you!

A Day for Finding Dimes

Yes, today was a day for finding dimes. And dimes only. 

Granted, I only found two of them but I just love to find any silver coins! I love finding copper ones too though. I'm not really very picky when it comes to finding money.

I found the first dime in a parking lot when I was leaving a study I did today. It was just some finger pricks. $30! To learn more about these studies and clinical trials I've done, check out my ebook Earn Money as a Lab Rat.

Then later I found another dime when I was walking out of Michael's. It was right there on the floor by the door. Small, silver, and shiny, but it caught my eye!

Today I went out to the post office and while walking back to my car across the street I found a penny in the street. Then I spotted something shiny in a parking lot:  two dimes and another penny! 

I was thrilled but then later this afternoon I went to the grocery store and I found a dollar bill in the change tray of a self checkout register! I kept it! Would you?

I finished those hamburger ornaments and promised I'd show you a picture. Here goes. I listed them in my Etsy shop in case you want to check out these fun food ornaments there.

This morning I had to run to the post office. After I left there, I found a penny in the street then a dime in a parking spot. I was thrilled, and then I found another dime at the grocery store, but somewhere between there and home I lost the penny! Man! That is the first time in 5 years of my found money collecting for this blog that that's happened! Shoot.

But this evening I took a walk and found two pennies in the street, so today I actually found 23 cents but can only claim 22 cents for my blog.

I am Two Dimes and a Penny Richer

This morning I went "big grocery shopping." All that means is I actually made a list and bought enough stuff that I had to actually use a cart instead of one of those tote thingies as I shopped. 

Anyway, I found a penny on the floor by a checkout lane and as I was leaving the store I found a dime on the floor and then I found another dime in a water dispensing machine. Yay!

Took a HOT Walk and Found 31 Cents

This morning I had the bright idea to walk to Sprouts. Well, I should have gone earlier. When I left home around 9:00 a.m., it was 86°F and when I got home about 10:10, it was 91°F. Too hot! 

Oh well, live and learn. But I did find 31 cents at a fast food place. Yay! I doubt if I'll be taking many more walks since it's just too danged hot out. I'll really miss it. Maybe I'll have to try to get up earlier. We'll see.

I dropped the nickel I found on the floor so it's missing from the photo. Oh well. I let a few seashells get in the photo. Aren't they pretty?!

Here's a postcard I made on Zazzle of the ferry ride from Fort Morgan to Dauphin Island, Alabama when we were on vacation.
