    Another trip out this afternoon and found 1p opposite a shut down shop. The outing was longer in time with more miles covered than this mornings 50p find.
  • Still nothing found. Booooo. Staying positive. But I don't really go to the public places where roadkill is usually found. Although I do need to pop to town next week so will be keeping my eyes peeled then and will head to the areas where there might be pennies. :D

    Well, I wasn't prepared to accept a roadkill less day so hubby and I took a walk out. Found nothing in the first 30 minutes and we hit every parking machine we could find. We walked the train station. Nothing. We walked through the town and I insisted on going past McDonalds. For some reason, there seems to be more coins dropped in places you are more likely to see frequented by those you would expect to need the money rather than leaving it on the floor.....anyhooooooo 2p found outside, a futher 2p in A$da carpark and 21p at self checkout so 25p for the day. The best thing??? Going to buy hubby some extra coffee pods for his new machine at £3.77 a pack :eek: only to pay 6p because we had a voucher for £3.71 from a w/r :j........way freakin' COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Waiting on checking a few w/r this evening with fingers crossed.....

    Just back from my second walk of the day with nothing to show for it. Hoping the weekend brings better results.

    Muhren, did you go round any supermarkets? We rarely leave one without something to show for it.

    No I just walked the streets, past a few pubs and some shops. I haven't got a large supermarket within walking distance just a small sainsb's which I didn't go in to today. Have been in a couple of times but not found anything in there as yet.

    We have a small Sainsbury's near us too and the best place to find coins is tucked in tight at the counter where you pay. Also in the small parking area outside. Just smiled at your total for the month being over £1!

    I will have to have a better look next time I'm in there then. I did find a pound coin which means I have only found 2 coins so far this month!
