Finding Money and Saving Money

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone had a good week. This week turned out to be a pretty good money-finding week as well as some other fun stuff.

I found $11.05 this week, including $7.14 on Saturday with a $5.00 bill and $1.00 bill sitting right there for the taking on a main road. I love it. Also on Saturday, I saw a few sets of bunny ears and a My Little Pony doll. There must have been some Easter bar parties on Friday night and perhaps a little girl's play date as well. I hadn't seen a My Little Pony in years, didn't know they were still out there. None of those things were still there this morning so hopefully someone else is getting some use out of them. To add to my foreign money totals, I found another full euro coin.

This week was also a mini gold mine for coupons. I'm a big coupon clipper - nowhere near the people on TV- but I do enjoy getting the coupons from the Sunday paper and online websites. This probably doesn't come as much as a surprise as this blog is all about finding money. So when I can save money while running as well, I'll take it. On Thursday, I found two free drink coupons on any Southwest Airlines flight, which will come in quite handy as I am flying Southwest to a wedding in June. On Saturday, I found a $2.00 off coupon to Jewel, which also came in handy as I was planning on shopping there this weekend. Lastly, today I found a $25 off coupon to Sports Authority. To be fair, I saw about 10 of them because they are a giveaway at Cubs games, but I do need a few things from there, so that will also come in handy. Finding coupons isn't as fun as cold, hard cash, but it is a nice change of pace!

I look forward to sharing my monthyl total next week. Until then, have a great last week of April!
