Some Fun Finds

Here are some of the fun things I found/saw this week:

• American Express prepaid card with...wait for it...$.64 on it. I see gift cards every once in a while, and I always pick them up. I love the anticipation of getting home and calling the number to see what the balance is. One of these days I'll hit the jackpot and find one with a good amount on it! On that note...
• Jason's Deli gift card with $1.46 on it! Yeah, not quite the jackpot, but it is the first one I've found with more than $1.00 on it. I was intrigued and a little more excited about this one because there isn't a Jason's Deli anywhere near where I run, so I was thinking someone couldn't have used it up and just threw it on the ground. But apparently, that's just about what happened. The funny thing is that finding a gift card with $1.46 on it doesn't sound like much, but if I found $1.46 in change, that would be super exciting.
• A cooler, and a nice looking one too. It was just laying open next to the sidewalk not that far from where I live. If I hadn't been running, I probably would have picked it up and brought it back home. I'm not really in the market for a cooler, but it could come in handy some time.
• A sausage, egg and cheese croissant from 7-11. It was still wrapped up nicely in its package and just sitting on the sidewalk. It almost looked like someone just set it down there. I mean I see slices of pizza and other random food all of the time, but I'd never seen food still in its original package seemingly untouched.
• Half of a Jock Jams CD. If it hadn't been broken, I would have had a tough decision on whether or not to pick it up. I got a little nostalgic thinking about that CD playing before my high school basketball games. Ah, good times.
• $4.55. It was a good week for money finding. I found $2.25 this morning on my run, all in change. I felt like I was finding change every 50 feet. That's what makes it fun! See the picture below of my treasure from today. There is only one more day in the month, and I look forward to counting up and reporting out my February total next week. Now, it's time for the Oscars! Have a great one!
