Today I found 13 cents . . . 1 dime & 3 pennies. I also found a Canadian quarter, which sadly will not count toward the daily totals.

Today was a very productive day. For starters, I woke up by 8am, which is rare for me on the weekends. By noon I had been to several yard sales, purchased plants at a local plant sale, purchased two kinds of cheese, and visited some downtown shops. While downtown at a stoplight I spotted and retrieved a penny from the middle of the road. Despite the fact that I was back in my car and ready to go before the light changed the driver behind me still felt the need to blow their horn THE INSTANCE the light turned green. I get it, green means go. Just because I was pulling a penny from the middle of the road does not mean I need a reminder honk to start driving again once the light turns.

Also on the way home I stopped at JR’s Car Wash, the car wash next to my apartment complex, and found 11 cents (one dime & one penny). This is also where I found the Canadian quarter, which has already been deposited into my “Not Change Cup.” My final find of the day was one penny at Kroger, a local grocery store. It was near an automatic change return cup when I spotted it, just as I was leaving after paying for my ground beef (which was made into sauce for the spaghetti that I cooked this evening).

Totals for the day: 13 cents
Race Totals: $280.11
