Feeling Like Summer....
Today we found 64 cents in change and 102 bottles and cans.
Talk about crazy weather, last week we were in the middle of a nor’easter that dropped 8 inches of rain of us, and kept the temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s, and today it was almost 80. Sure, it’s only one day and then we start retreating back into the more seasonal temps, but damn, talk about extremes, we have them here in the northeast for sure.
Money Report – Michele contributed 26 cents to the day’s total during her early morning walk (1 quarter and 1 penny). She found the quarter in the parking lot across from the library, and the penny was recovered from Allen Street.
I was solo on the evening walk but was able to tack on 38 cents to the total. At the high school we snagged 7 cents (1 nickel and 2 pennies). The three coins were found in the front and side parking areas. At the car wash we added 30 cents (1 quarter and 5 pennies) All but one penny was found in and around the vacuum areas. The remaining penny was on the ground at one of the self-serve bays. Finally, we found a penny on Witham Street. It was also another solid day for the bottle and can numbers.
Sidebar – Cap Update – Coke has extended their promotion through 2008 and we’ve been adding points at the rate of 30 per day. So far our point total is at 3455, and counting. The Pepsi free ride and other related products for that promotion have been getting hard to come by. We were getting them pretty steady for a while but they’ve just about dried up. So far no luck on winning a car, but I’ll keep you posted as the promotion runs until 4/30. The power aid promotion was officially ended in early April, however, the points were rolled into the coke promotion which is good for me as it added over 800 points to our total. The Lebron (sprite) and dr. pepper promotion have also expired and I haven’t seen any new promotions as of yet though I will keep you updated when I do.
Over and Out!

Hey! Just thought I'd say hello as I think we are alike, coin finders, can collectors and Red Sox fans. I recently started a blog somewhat similar to yours www.cheapgreenandhappy.blogspot.com. Glad to know there are others out there! Keep searching.

Hi Brian, and welcome to the change bloggers club. It's nice to have someone close by and another Red Sox fan, too!
