When walking outside do the same. People that go to places of conveience are to much in a hurry to care about dropped coins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-77741059602308842832009-06-23T20:45:48.351-07:002009-06-23T20:45:48.351-07:00After working in a grocery store for almost 9 year...After working in a grocery store for almost 9 years with a Coinstar, you are right, you'd be amazed what people will leave behind. Esepcailly when it screws up and I have to go fix it. I had a guy today leave something along the lines of 60 cents. Another time there was a $1.85 or so after I fixed it for someone and they walked off and left it! I just donated it to our store charity since I was on the clock.<br />I didn't wanna get fired for stealing... but its CRAZY how bad people are about just leaving stuff.<br /><br />I'm too cheap anyways, I roll all my change and save my quarters for laundry. As a result, I have put $245 into my IRA this year and it's only June!<br /><3 to read about your's and Donna's blog.<br />It's all your mom's fault I have gotten into the frugal living shebang. :)Coupon Ninjahttp://coupon_ninja.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-7375344542519573082009-06-22T22:07:17.742-07:002009-06-22T22:07:17.742-07:00I found a quarter in a soda machine today.

But after reading this, I bet my mom takes self-checkout exclusively!<br /><br />Polly Jean,<br /><br />Soda machines. How could I have not thought about those?! And lottery machines. <br /><br />I wish WA had a five cent deposit. Then I would definitely be picking up cans again. They are all over the place here.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment on the blog. I hope to keep building it up!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-84154338968425393882009-06-22T20:06:45.569-07:002009-06-22T20:06:45.569-07:00I have checked the coinstar machine and found a fe...I have checked the coinstar machine and found a few left coins. I also check soda machines and even if your state has those automatic lottery machines sometimes people leave credit in them. <br /><br />Also here in Oregon cans are worth 5 cents and they lay everywhere. I tell my family that one day my can fund will pay for a house for myself . lol <br /><br />I enjoy your blog very much <br /><br />pollyjeanpollyjeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961355023209132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-43221407701695032462009-06-22T19:53:41.777-07:002009-06-22T19:53:41.777-07:00I never thought of checking the Coinstar machines ...I never thought of checking the Coinstar machines for leftover change. I did once find a $20 bill just waiting for me in the bill return slot at a self-checkout lane, but now I am definitely going to check those Coinstar machines!Alissa Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701189791875707920noreply@blogger.com
