some kind person left 2p on the floor in front of my locker and as I bent to pick it up I spotted 5p under my locker. They're now both safely in my piggy along with the 20p I found walking home!Debt free, aim to be MF by 50 (Sept 2026)

Well it seemed to work for me!!
Am saving a lot of pennies on food and petrol now too, so its a very MSE way of capturing pennies!
Now, have I taken my penny capturing too far? I was walking towards a cash machine today when a man pulled out his wallet and 10p fell out. He saw it land on the floor but didn't bother picking it up. I snaffled it once I got to the cash machine and he had gone, but now I am feeling guilty that I didn't shout him or something. He definitely saw it fall on the floor though.0 -

Today i was stood by the cash machine when I felt something land on my foot, I looked down at the same time as my 5 year old, we both saw the penny. I looked at her she looked at me, I gave her the nod she grabbed it quick. WHO could EVER argue with a 5 year old.
Is that wrong ???0
