Our luck changed when Michele need to go to the Big Store for more shopping. Walking in Michele found two cents ($0.02) in front of the shopping carts. I noticed a penny under the unused checkout stand #1 and sent Will to get it but he failed since it was under the machine. He redeemed himself and found a penny behind the trash can ($0.01). Hope then found a penny near ($0.01) the Little Debbie Cakes (oh so good). I hit the spot a well finding a dime under the coke machine. My fat fingers pushed it back and Will then pushed it back further ($0.10). Curses!! I used my key to push it out.
Will was looking around the cash register #3 and found a dime ($0.10). Then a worker, said “There is another one there”. Will picked up a penny ($0.01) (not quite a dime though … she must be from High Island). Now while in the checkout line, I looked down and saw the mother load a shiny quarter under the gum and candy rack. The problem was it was hard to reach, no wonder why it was there for so long. I ordered Will to pick it up while I checked out. He and Hope found a flyswatter and kicked it out ($0.25). Hoped add to the booty and pushed out a penny ($0.01). Then walking out the door, Hope found a dime ($0.10) under the paper stand in the back. The irony is that I missed it when picking up my monthly Beach Triton.

– After stopping at Guitar Center and Will figuring out the code to the most expense guitar in the store (the code is 357 by the way), we came up short. Then we stopped at Arlan’s Markets to shop for Thanksgiving and again found nothing (Will wasted his found quarter that could not be used since it was found before we got first penny). Not discouraged we then went to Whataburger for lunch and had similar bad luck. However, I was tempted to go thru the drive thru and find loose change but didn’t since it was a single lane. After eating we got on the ferry and again came up empty handed. Curses.

– While waiting for Michele to pick up the honey baked ham, we went to Food Town to find our first penny. It was a dirty store; however, I was lucky to spot the first penny ($0.01) behind the empty cash register. James bent down and picked it up.
