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.SPC 18 Target £200 /0

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.....Credit 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 -

Muhren, did you go round any supermarkets?

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.LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.

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!Credit 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

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!LBM: Dec 2012 - Debt £38,180/ Now £0.
