Am I the only one that is willing to bend down to pick up a penny? I always do because it makes me feel happy. Yeah, I know, it doesn't take much to make my day. Sometimes we forget that pennies are not worthless, they are valuable when accumulated.
As part of my $150 challenge, I will be trying out some frugal tips and I will post what has worked for me. Just like reaching down to pick up a penny off the ground, I will take those pennies (frugal tips) and watch them grow into nickles, dimes and dollars.

I was once on a bus when a woman dropped a local coin (equivalent to about 27 cents). She searched for a few seconds and couldn't find it, and was about to get off the bus. Her friend said "A person who doesn't pick up a penny isn't worth a penny" (replace penny with local coin). She made the driver wait while she found the coin for her friend :)
The little bits really add up - ask any five year old! :)
I put any change that I find in a small container and in the course of a few months I was surprised as to how many coins were in the jar. If all of those coins would have been on the ground at the same time, I am sure someone would have thought that they had found a small treasure.
