Found $8.30 in about 2 months

So, I've been negligent in posting about my found money BUT I finally dumped out my little cup tonight and counted it. 

$8.30! Yay!

This is for just less than 2 months. Not bad for just randomly picking up change here and there.

What about you? Have you found any money recently? Please let us know!

I recently bought one of those beds in a box. This one in fact and it's great! Have you tried one of these? I unwrapped it and put it on the frame all by myself so it's totally doable!

Almost Too Hot to Look for Money... almost

It's June in Arizona. You know what that means. It's hot. It's almost too hot to go out and look for money. Almost.

I still do go to the store (grocery store, thrift store, you know, places), but if the 100-degree heat continues, I'll be curbing my random walks where I purposely go out in search of money. It's just too hot!

Since the last time I posted, I've found $5.26! In the coins, I found two 50-cent coins / Kennedy half dollars. I love finding the different stuff.

My cat just laid down on top of the coins. Great. I'll try to get a photo when he decides to move.

A Pile of Coins Found by Little Ol' Me

I've been finding money as usual. The trick is looking for it! Just yesterday I parked my car in the middle of a large shopping center parking lot and walked to both ends. I found 3 pennies for my trouble. Not much but it all adds up!

Since I last posted I've found $6.04! All in loose change. No bills.

I'm sitting here this evening watching Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime on PBS. I just love it! Have you seen it?

2019 Found Money Update

Well, well. Did you think I fell off the end of the Earth? Nope, but I'm still traveling around and just not in a good routine. That's my only excuse for not posting again this year. I mean, just one post so far. How pathetic is that?

Let's get to it then.

Since the end of January I've found quite a bit of money. $5.72, to be precise. You can see the breakdown below under Facts About This Found Money.

I've been doing a vehicle transport job and have found some money while working. I find most of this found money at fast food places (in the drive-through lane or inside on the floor) that we stop at on the return trip. The job is interesting but is coming to an end since I'll be moving on this next week, but finding money won't stop. No way, no how! I just love finding money and the best part is I can do it anywhere!

So, have you found any money his year? Please share and let us know!

January 2019 Found Money

How is 2019 treating you? Good, I hope.

I've decided to do things a little differently this year with my found money blog. I plan to post just once a month since it seems like the days and weeks and months fly by so quickly. If I can, of course, I'll post more often but this sounds like a doable goal.

So far in 2019 (can you seriously believe it's 2019? I can't!) I've found $2.53 plus a Mexican 50 cent coin. Nothing too earth shattering but better than a kick in the butt. 

Here are some Mexican coins available to buy on Amazon in case you want some for yourself. 

Just today I found a dime in a drive through of a Walgreens. I always look when I'm near this sort of drive through lane but I think this is the first time I've actually found any money at one of them. Yee haw!

What about you? Have you found any money so far this year? Please share and let us know!

Year End Found Money... a good chunk to finish the year

Earlier I braved the wind and cold (if you can call 52 cold) and walked around a shopping center parking lot looking for money. I found a dime in a parking space and 2 dimes in a fast food drive through lane and then four pennies in a store so it was worth it!

With this money (34 cents) added to what else I found since I last posted, I have $6.07 to add to my year's total. So...

Drum roll please!

For all of 2018, I found $68.05.

This is my second best year for finding money but no where close to the $100+ I found in 2015.

Do you have resolutions for 2019? Wow, it feels weird typing that.

Finally Posting After Months Away... So Much Found Money!

I have had trouble (still) logging in to update this blog but here I am finally. 

After several months away, here's the breakdown of what I've found:

229 pennies ($2.29)

17 nickels ($.85)

45 dimes ($4.50)

21 quarters ($7.25)

for a total of $14.89!

I also found 11 foreign coins:  a tiny 1 cent Euro (so cute!), two 10 cent Mexican coins (also little but not quite as cute), some sort of Asian coin (can't read the symbols but there is a man's face that I don't recognize on the front), a 10 cent Canadian coin, a 1 cent Canadian coin, a 5 cent Canadian coin, two $1 Mexican coins, 1 British penny, and a 50 cent Mexican coin.

Those are always so fun to find! 

I also found a couple of tokens (a car wash token and a Peter Piper Pizza token) as well as a copper tree of life pendant. 

Have you thought about giving some rare coins to someone as a gift this Christmas? It might be a fun and unique hobby for a child or for someone who has everything.
