It sounds easy, but ask yourself how many times have you disregarded a penny's worth? How easy is it for you to not take your penny change, or simply leave it on the counter? How many pennies have you stepped over on the ground? How many pennies have you made a wish on threw over your shoulder, or have given to a kid to play with?
I think it's harder to save a penny, to hold onto it, or to wait for your one cent in change that the cashier feels, surely you don't want. Call it pride embarrassment or whatever that makes us say "I don't want the penny." Or, "keep the penny."
Yesterday I went to my local Starbucks, I'm a registered card holder and by email received a coupon for 50% off any drink. On my Starbucks card there was a balance of $3.07 after my coupon my total was $3.08. As I said earlier every time I tell the story of my desire to create the penny blog I laugh so does the person I'm talking to. This day it was my husband, we laughed. I told my husband about my barrister"I guarantee you he won't ask for the penny I owe him." My husband laughs as we relate this to the penny blog. While he encourages me to start the blog. The barrister takes my card and disappear from the window(we were in the drive thru).
He returns with my card and says, "it says you owe a penny, but I won't ask for it. Never mind you're fine."
My husband and I look at him and laugh out loud and say Thank you. I turn to my husband and say another penny earned.
These are the types of stories you'll read hear on my penny blog. Watch my penny-o-meter to the right of the blog and watch me get rich off all the pennies I keep.
Tell me your penny story, share this blog it will be funny if nothing else.
