Yesterday, I found 32 cents. But I cheated. They weren't all pennies. I know, I know, but I never really made an official ruling on the idea of pennies as a measurement versus an actual item, did I? Let's just pretend I didn't.
Nickels are our friends. I found four of them while I was putting away my son's blocks and play food. This makes me not only a cheater, but a bad mom since my not-quite-2-year-old could have swallowed 20 cents that somehow ended up in his Elmo kitchen.
Twelve more cents showed up here and there in places I don't even remember.
Today has been more of a challenge. More cheating was involved. To find 64 cents, I had to include a quarter and two dimes. I found the quarter in the parking lot at the grocery store.
Day 6 total: $0.32
Day 7 total: $0.64
Overall total: $1.27
Tomorrow's goal: $1.28
all in all its only "sort of" cheating.
ReplyDeleteYou're still having to search for the money and the end result, saving money, is the same!
This is my thought. I think the idea is more important than the physical representation of a piece of copper.
