Found Money Blog: Found Two Pennies on a Walk Today

This evening just before dark I set off on a short walk and I found two pennies. Of course since it was just before dark, it was pretty much full dark by the time I got home. Note to self:  Have to leave home earlier and earlier each day!

On my walk, I took along a tote bag and I'm glad I did. I found six aluminum cans to add to my stash to take to the recycling center. Last visit I had enough for $18. Not bad for picking up random cans as I find them.

So, where oh where did I find these two pennies? One was on a sidewalk near one of the cans I spotted, and the other was in the street in front of a car wash. 

This photo shows the two pennies with a mess of clip on and screw on earrings I just listed these in my Etsy shop.

Found Two Pennies -- Set To Pass 2012's Total Any Day Now

Today I had the final check up for the current drug study I am doing. I'm glad! During the drug studies you can't do lots of things (have caffeine, take medicine even vitamins, exercise is limited, etc.). I have my life back! At least till I sign up for another one!

Any way, I found a penny in the parking lot when I was walking in to the study today. Then on my way out, I found a penny right by my car. Cool! I posed my pennies next to this cute little seal. He's wearing a ring I found, but I thought it sort of looked like a lifesaver.

I also wanted to let you all know that I am rapidly approaching my 2012 total already this year! And it's just May. Last year I found $15.50 and this year I'm now at $15.35! Any day now, I'd say.

Any wagers on when I'll pass 2012's total? Anyone?

Found Two Pennies in the Change Tray at Fresh and Easy

Tonight I went to a volunteer dinner at Sun Sounds of Arizona. I just started there and haven't recorded much but it was fun to learn more about the organization and the food was great!

On the way home I ran by Fresh and Easy. When I checked out, I found two pennies in the change tray!

Found Money: Two Pennies at Two Stores

Today I got my yearly oil change. Yes, that's right. It had been almost exactly a year since I had my oil changed last. I just don't drive that much these days! 

So, while I was in the neighborhood I had to hit the local Fresh and Easy and the 99 Cent store. At each, I found some great bargains and a penny in the middle of the floor in front of the cash registers. I posed the pennies next to some patches I'm listing in my Etsy shop.

I tell ya, there is money to be found out there! Have you found any of it lately? Please let us know!

Found Two Pennies in Parking Lot at Fresh and Easy

I went to the botanical gardens today with a friend and walked around for almost 3 hours! Time flies when you're gabbing with a friend. 

We spotted this little cactus that looks like it has snow on top. The high today in Phoenix was 63 degrees Fahrenheit, so of course it's not snow. It was some sort of fuzzy white growth. Maybe flower buds?

On the way home I stopped at Fresh and Easy (yes, I love that store!) and found two pennies in the parking lot in front of the store.

Took a Walk and Found Two Pennies

Today I ran some errands then took a walk. I found these two pennies. The one on the left is filthy dirty and has gouges around the perimeter. I can't read the date or mint mark.

Yesterday I took the aluminum cans I've been saving to a recycling center. They were paying $1.05 a pound. Sweet! I had 7 pounds so that was worth hauling them around in my car all those months. 

I also took some junk that I'd found with my magnet. I had 39 pounds of that junk, but they only paid 9 cents a pound. Oh well, recycling it's better than throwing it in the trash!

A Concert Then Found Two Pennies

Today I went to watch my granddaughter play the keyboard at her piano concert. It was lovely! She played so well!

Then we all went to In and Out Burger where I spotted a penny on the floor! 

Then I headed to Goodwill (half off day) and as soon as I walked in the door, I saw a penny on the floor. I scooped it up and headed toward the back to look at linens and junk (it's all junk, ya know, but I only pick out the good junk to take home).  

Once home, I posed the pennies next to my two Peggy banks.

Took a Walk and Found Two Pennies (Again)

Today we actually had some weather! Actual cool air. I love it! Yesterday it hailed for about 2 minutes (see photo). So we did have winter here in Arizona after all! And yes, this while much of the rest of the country is having warmer than usual weather for mid March. 

Oh well. Brian Williams said it's something to do with a jet stream or something. I wasn't paying attention. I figure why should I? It's not like I'm going to make any difference.

So, I wanted to enjoy this weather (high of 54 today!) and took a walk. I found 2 pennies. Have you found any money lately?

While on a Walk This Lovely Breezy Day, I Found Two Pennies

Today after volunteering, I had to run to the library because a book I hadn't read was due and couldn't be renewed. It seems like that happens the most:  books or movies I don't read or watch come due so much quicker! 

On the way, I parked the car and took a walk. I found these two pennies! The less dirty one (the one on the right next to Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby's face) is a 1957 wheat penny! I rarely find those so that's always exciting!

Have you found any money lately? And have you ever watched Midsomer Murders? This BBC show started in 1998 and is still going strong. I love it! This episode from Season 10, Picture of Innocence, is due tomorrow so I watched it this afternoon. I like to keep my priorities straight.

Took Another Walk and Found Two More Pennies

My headlines (titles) are getting stale. I often:

Take a walk and find a penny

or

Rode my bike and found two pennies

which I'm happy about, but I am going to have to get creative with my titles so I don't repeat them so often.

Yes, as you have already read, I took another walk today and found two more pennies!

Found Two Pennies in the Parking Lot

I have been a hermit for a few days. I decided to get out and take a walk. I didn't go far but I did find two pennies in the parking lot!

Found Two Pennies

I found two pennies yesterday, not today, but didn't get around to adding the post till now. Two grandkids came over yesterday and we took a walk. While walking one found a penny! Yay! I told them when we set out that if anyone of us found any coins--pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters--I would pay them both a quarter. So, I paid them each a quarter so I could keep the penny. Then I found another penny in the parking lot so they each got another quarter.

So, I ask, would you pay 50 cents for a penny?

Found Two Cents and a Bus Token from Sheboygan

That's right. A Sheboygan, Wisconsin bus token in Phoenix. I have no idea how it got here, but someone lost it and I found it. I ran out to the post office, the pet store, and the bank and found two pennies and that bus token. Score!

Okay, the question today (not that many people ever answer them) is have you ever been to Sheboygan, Wisconsin? And if so, YAY!, have you ever used a Sheboygan bus token/ridden a Sheboygan bus? (Can you tell I like the name Sheboygan?)

Found Two Cents in the Parking Lot

This evening a friend called so as we were talking, I took the trash out. It was almost sundown so cooler outside. I walked around the parking lot and look what I found. Yep, two pennies! These bad boys must have been there awhile because I can't read the date or really anything on either one of them. 

Finding these two pennies while just walking around the parking lot makes me wonder how many coins are out there, just waiting to be found. Have you looked for coins outside around your house lately?

What about you? Have you found any money these days?

Found Two Cents Today

I am a cheapskate (one reason for tracking my found money) and love to get a deal. Kohler Academy is a "beauty school" for lack of a better term in Snotsdale, and they run specials each month. One of July's deals is the cheap-o 8 dollar haircut! This is cheap no matter where you go but their regular prices are $15 or $20 depending on the level of the student. Score! I made an appointment and braved the 100 degree heat to get a haircut.

I was lucky; the girl (they are all girls, young women really but girls) who I got was graduating soon. In fact her last day is tomorrow. So of course since I can't ask for her next time, she gave me the best haircut I've had in years. I really like it. She did what I wanted and it looks good.

As I was leaving, I spotted a penny in the parking lot. Yay!

Then I stopped by Fresh and Easy on the way home. Have to stock up for our "winter" (too hot to get out). I found another penny on the floor inside. Yay again!
