places to find loose change?
As I was cleaning yesterday, I found 10 bucks. It's always fun to suddenly find money.
I should clean more often. HA!
On a more serious note, it made me think about how great it is to find lost/hidden money and all the times that I have found some.
Where are some places you have found surprise money or loose change?If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

I always find money in the laundry, old purses, in the car, and my bag I use for Bible Study.

The bottom of my purse, or my closet floor once all the laundry has been done (I put dirty clothes on the floor of my closet.
Also find bonus money in the dryer or in coat pockets.

I tend to find change and such in the laundry, and in the couch cushions. I have also found change in the bottom of my purse or purses that I wasn't using. The best find was when I cound $20 in a winter coat that I was pulling out of storage. Now how do I forget I have twenty dollars?

I am always finding pennies when on my walk. Sometimes I find money in a pocket. The laundromat is also pretty good. The loose change piggy bank is also good since you never know how much is in it.

In my coat pockets, dh work clothes, purses in my closet, in between seat cushions on the couches or recliners, parking lots, vacation carryons.

Well, Sara, I don't find that kind of money! Guess I'll come clean your house! I tend to find change in the bottom of my purse and in the washer after washing hubby's jeans.

Only in the couch cushions after I've had company. I wonder if men know how much money falls out of their pockets when they sit down on the couch? Sometimes I throw change in my purse but I keep it cleaned out pretty often.
