Found a Penny on the Floor of the Grocery Store

I stopped at Fresh and Easy to see what goodies they had marked down today. I got a big bag of buns, sour cream, lettuce, and bags of York Peppermints and M&Ms! Score!

When I was checking out, I spotted a penny on the floor next to the register. Score again!

Here's Ev, the latest Tin Can Man I made.

Lucky Day! Two Sets of Found Money Today!

Well, maybe you saw my other post for the money I found earlier today while taking a walk. Five pennies!

I just went out to take out the trash and walked around the parking lot while I was out. I haven't found any money in the parking lot here for awhile, but I like to keep looking. Today I got lucky--I spotted a penny in the farthest parking space. Yay!

Have you found any money lately? Do you ever find money twice in one day? (Isn't it great?)

Took a Walk and Found 5 Pennies

Today I had to run to the post office so afterward I took my trusty magnet for a walk. The weather is so nice these days for a walk, so I'm taking advantage of it every day I can. 

Soon enough it's going to be boiling here and I won't even want to walk to my car let alone take a walk.

I found five pennies! I also found some good junk. I'm going to make another tin can man from an evaporated milk can. He's all punched and ready to go so I'll work on it tonight. I'll post a picture when he's all done!

Took a Walk and Found Four Pennies

Today I ran a bunch of errands, but I didn't find any money. Dang.

So, I took my magnet and walked up and down parts of a couple of alleys. I happened to choose alleys today that had barking dogs, and frankly, I didn't want to hear it, so I left and picked a new alley only to find barking dogs in all of them. But I did manage to find four pennies! 

I posed them next to some cuff bracelets I listed in my Etsy shop. I love the colors!

Found a Penny in the Change Tray at Fresh and Easy

Today I went to Fresh and Easy and scoped out most of the change trays. In one, I found this penny! 

He's posed next to a clay snail my son made many, many years ago. I have a case of the Mondays (feeling sort of slow and sluggish). Know what movie that phrase is from?

Took My Magnet for a Walk and Found 9 Cents

Today I had to go to the post office to mail a package. No money, except what I spent.

Then I went to two Goodwill stores because it's half off day and it's a free country. Why not? No money, except again what I spent.

Then I missed a turn so decided to park and walk down an alley with my magnet.  The weather is marvelous. Mid-60s so very nice out with the sun shining and a slight breeze. Right away I found three pennies in the middle of the alley! 

Here's a magnet that's just like mine except the magnet part on mine is square. You can get yourself one and take it for a walk on nice days, too!

Then I walked to the end and on the way found another penny. As I was heading back to my car, I saw something round that my magnet didn't pick up. It was sort of embedded in the mud. It's been raining here lately so the ground was squishy in places. It was a nickel!

Have you found any money? Any at all? Let us know!
