Scavenger - ching

After over a week of pulling surreptitious scavenger hunts through dresser drawers, clothes dryers, car seats, coat pockets and under various pieces of furniture I am proud to report a net finding of $2.93! Bringing my Cha Cha Change can's contents to a whopping $24.11. Laugh if you will but I have almost collected a quarter of a hundred dollars! It's all in the way you look at things. And, it is $24.11 that I haven't spent......now that's a real good thing.

Change-ching

After spending a little folding money at the store yesterday and today - I wound up with $1.28 in spare change. Cha Cha Change Can now is the proud owner of $21.18. We aren't growing fast but we are growing steady.

Loose-ching

Picked up $1.18 in loose change just hiding around in various cracks and crevices of the house and car. Oh and some of it came out of Roger's chair - when he leans his recliner back, the change falls out of his pockets and deposits into the chair. Bonanza Time! This brings my total to ..... $19.90 (quick someone send me a dime and I'll have an even $20 ;) )
And just so you'll know how fast change can accumulate, we cashed in all our change at Christmas and Roger took his change jar to the bank last week and had $145.00 that had been piling up in less than 3 months - not bad! I'm not doing so good with mine. Had I have remembered his change jar I probably would have transferred some of his to little Cha Cha Change Can :) then I would have been assured that it wouldn't have gone up in "smoke".

Folded-ching

Today - I found a dollar bill folded up in my desk. I was cleaning out a drawer I had forgotten about and found the bill and enough spare change to contribute $1.89 to cha cha change can. This brings my total to..........$18.72. I am zeroing in on my first $20.00 which is 1/5th of a hundred. All in all, a pretty productive small change weekend!

Little-ching

Well, I've finally been able to scrape enough to make a decent post to the blog and deposit to Cha Cha Change Can. After digging through the washer, the dryer, the car and both purses plus 2 dimes I found on the drive way - I accumulated $5.33.
Look out now! At this rate can a vacation be unfeasible?
Not much to say, other than I believe this is indicative of our whole economy right now. Everyone is starting to pay more attention to what I call little money.
My impressive total to date is..................$16.83 :=)
