Found Money

February 18th, 2011 at 12:59 am

I found a dollar bill and a penny in the high school parking lot today. This is the third time I've found money in the school parking lot this month. What do these kids do, just throw it around? The dollar I added to the laptop fund and the penny went into the coin jar.

$429.94 laptop fund beginning balance
$+01.00 found money
------------
$430.94 laptop fund ending balance

I will take my envelope of money for that fund over to the CU tomorrow. It's payday so I will be banking anyway and that CU is near my regular one. I usually just slip ones into the envelope as I accumulate them, so it's not like there is a hefty amount sitting in it or anything, but I'm not going to run over there every time I accumulate a dollar or two. It's a waste of gas.

I need to remember to get coin wrappers as well. I've got over 200 pennies that need rolling and nothing to roll them in. Hmm...if I get the wrappers at CU#1 and roll them in the car I can deposit them to the laptop fund at CU#2. It's only a couple of dollars, but I think I am proving that a few dollars here and a few dollars there is adding up quite rapidly.

    I *found* $.50 at Aldis on Sunday. For some odd reason, two people left their carts in the parking lot. I grabbed one for myself and put the other one back. Quick and painless work.

    Does your credit union want you to roll the pennies?

    My bank breaks any rolls I bring in and runs them through the counter. Even if they are bank stamped by them (Got rolls for Rummage Sale).

    Just don't want you to have to do more work than needed.
