Ran Errands, Took a Stroll, Found Money!

This morning I had to run to the post office then went to Fresh and Easy for a few things. I found a penny in the change tray and a penny in the parking lot! I waited all day to write this blog post because I was editing and just didn't take the time to do it. I'm glad I waited. 

I took a stroll (that's just like a walk, in case you were wondering) a little after 6 this evening, and right away in a neighboring apartment building parking lot I found this nickel. At first I thought it was one of those flat batteries, but nope, it was a nickel! 

I walked on and spotted another penny in another apartment building parking lot. 

There is a lot of money out there to be found! Have you found any of it this week?

Oh, I sold one of these Math Teachers Believe in Angles Christmas tree ornaments today! But don't worry, there's lots more where it came from!

Found 63 Cents at Grocery Store and in My Parking Lot

Today I ran to Fresh and Easy for a few things (and to use the $5 off $20 purchase). I didn't find any money. Dang.

Then I drove to Fry's for some other groceries, and as soon as I walked in, I checked a couple of the change trays on the self-checkout registers. The first one had 53 cents in it! Woo hoo! Then I spotted a nickel on the floor and I walked on a bit and found a penny! Man oh man! Lots of lacksidasical people at the store today, I'd say. I shopped and drove home.

The battery in my clicker that opens the gate to my complex is dead so I stopped the car and got out to manually punch in the code. In the parking space right there were 4 pennies! If my clicker had been working, I would have just driven right by and missed them. Woo hoo again!

Have you found any money lately? What's new with you? I've been adding some Zazzle products to my Zazzle store. Here is one of my favorites.
