Found $6.63 in Five Days

The past five days I've found a whopping $6.63! The clincher was tonight on my walk. I found a five dollar bill in a parking lot! Here's a breakdown of what I found when:

  • Sunday, August 23:  33 cents (8 pennies, 1 quarter)
  • Monday, August 24:  8 cents (3 pennies, 1 nickel)
  • Tuesday, August 25:  29 cents (9 pennies, 2 dimes)
  • Wednesday, August 26:  23 cents (3 pennies, 2 dimes)
  • Thursday, August 27:  $5.70 (5 pennies, 4 dimes, 1 quarter, 1 $5 bill)

I found this money in all of the usual places:  drive through lanes, in the street, on the floor of stores, in parking lots and at gas stations, in change trays at the grocery store, in pay phone change trays, and more.

With this windfall, I've found more than $71 so far this year. Have you had much luck finding money? I sure hope so!

Found a Five Dollar Bill at the Grocery Store

Today I ran to the grocery store for a few things (mainly bacon) because a couple of cute kiddos are coming over to spend the night and if that's not a good excuse to fix bacon for breakfast, I'd like to know what is!

I was strolling down an aisle and spotted this $5 on the floor! It was over to the side, but no one was around so I scooped it up. And I thought finding one dollar bills was exciting! 

Then after I paid for my groceries and was walking out of the store, I spotted these two Peter Piper Pizza tickets on the floor at the entrance. Scarlett likes the tickets.

Have you found any money lately?
