Ooooh,am on a roll this weekend.It is only because I have spent all weekend at the local mall: once the working/school week starts again,it will be harder work,I am sure.

Today I have found 21p in all:
1p on floor of ASDA
10p behind Coinstar machine(the first Coinstar machine I have seen;are they only in ASDA?)
5p under display unit in Claires-only saw it because I was scanning the floor underneath display units while standing in queue to pay:if it had been any further underneath I wouldn't have seen it:I had missed it yesterday when I squatted down to look under all display units in several shops :eek:
1p x2 in McDonalds
1p in food court
1p in Boots:sitting on the sweet display at counter,obviously where it had been dropped when getting change back,person didn't bother about it.
1p in garage tonight

In all,quite a successful weekend.(That is success in Saver-Upper's world.Not in HOK3Y's world.Of course.:rotfl:)

Smokies,at the moment I just keep mine in a Muller youghurt pot(just got enough coins to cover the bottom 1cm of the pot).
I am thinking about joining the "Sealed Pot Challenge",which starts in afew days,so might start adding it all to a sealed pot to be opened next year.
Still thinking about that.

The OH and I put all our schrapnel (5,2, & 1) in a big jar, so my roadkill goes into that for now. But next year I'll be keeping a jar just for that, and hopefully (assuming the roadkill fairies are kind) I'll be able to use it to treat us to a nice meal out somewhere around Christmas 2014

1p find at the bus stop for me today :-)

I've enjoyed reading this thread, and have been surprised by how much money is laying around on the streets.

I'm not an official road kill rebel, but I found 30p by a vending machine at work today. :j

I have just been reading this tread and love the idea of "road kill" money..


been for a little walk and came back with 6p


keep up the good work of keeping our streets free from unwanted cash lol lol

You certainly can smokies! There will definitely be a December thread - I have a feeling there will be more pennies out there during all the Christmas mayhem!

I put all my 1p, 2p and 5p pieces into a large sealed coffee can. Anything bigger than this goes into my purse to minimise what I pull out of the bank in cash - very handy indeed!

It's true Staffordia, there is a shed load of cash lying around......and Mr HOK3Y isn't too impressed that I've advertised this fact because it's apparently eating into our profit margin.......:rotfl:......I think we're doing just fine!

Quiet day on the roadkill front with a total of 10p netted and £2.70 in w/r. Just a few days left of November to make it count! Keep it going Rebels!!! :T

Definitely no holes in peoples pockets here! And we must have the cleanest supermarket carparks etc as there are booger all receipts or coins lying around - very thin pickings. I am amazed just how many w/rs you get Hok3y!
