Well,had my head down for nearly 2 hours in the supermarket,scoured ALL the trolley bays in the carpark,(twice)and all I found was a trolley token.Personally,I was quite pleased to have found something(I have found 4 of these over the last couple of months),but unless you can sell it to someone,it won't pay for your groceries,will it?:rotfl:
Twice I have had somebody thrust a £1 in my hand and snatched my trolley away before I can say ....but its a token! And the tokens I have used are ones that I have found:)4 days in and not a sausage for me!!
No sausages here either:(Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Keep looking wegle - I promise you that you will find something. Honest to goodness you will! :jWoo hoo! Just as I was starting to think you people were making these finds up (or that Scottish people genuinely are as tight with money as everyone says and never drop anything!) I found 20p in the Sainsbury's car park!
:T
LOL! See, this is what I have been expecting someone to say to me - that I am making it up. You are all more than welcome to come out coin hunting with me and you'll soon see I'm not......drives hubby mental that I can even spot them in dark corners.....he's touch competitive!But you found a 20p and often that is all it takes, finding a coin when you are actively looking is like flicking a light switch - suddenly you realise there IS money to be found. There is. And the more you look, the more will end up in your pocket! Keep going!
Well done to everyone for the finds so far - keep going and don't be disheartened with a dry day or two. You will find money if you continue to look and you will get better and better at spotting them!
As for me, I found 6p total today so far and have 54p from a wombled receipt......which was hard earned as I spotted a guy doing the same thing so I actually took off running to the back parking lot to beat him to the punch! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! :ACredit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0 -
