finding loose change
I found $.65 so far today from just picking up. I know not much. lol
It went right into the change jar though and I felt good about it.

$2.66 worth of pennies. I found these by looking in old purses, coat pockets, and drawers!

My change finding was like striking oil. Gabe gives exact change. It drives me nuts! Everytime I see even a nickel, I think how did he miss this???

6¢ in the washer. I think it came out of ds#1's jeans. He hasn't missed it though and its now in the change and penny jars.

My dd got my stash of loose change.
It was up to $1.86
I haven't found anything else lately. Dh usually puts his change on the mantle, but since I cleaned off the mantle I am not sure where the new pile is. lol

My DH always saves his change for me - I'll find some on his desk, or his dresser - and just take it and put it in the piggy bank (We put it first in the piggy bank, then when it gets full we pull it out and count it and put it in the change tower). He will sometimes just hold change in his hand and rattle it till I show up and he teases me about being worse that a cat with tuna fish
Though just reading this thread reminds me of a button I saw last year at the mall: "I'm not depressed, I'm just looking for change"
