Change Pot Tuesday

Change Pot Tuesday is a weekly recap of finding money that other people have lost. However, it is more than just picking up pennies and collecting lost change. For those readers and followers who have begun following the Change Pot midway, Change Pot Tuesday is about charity. When the Change Pot reaches $100, it will be donated to charity and the process will be started all over again. Loyal readers and followers will have an opportunity to help me choose which charity will receive the money accumulated in the Change Pot. While, I don't expect to change the world with the Change Pot, I do hope to help a charity in some small way.

The Change Pot bounced back this week with several good finds for a total of $0.34 cents. The Change Pot was aided by three days in the heavily popoulated area of Baltimore, Maryland. On Wednesday, I found a penny when getting out of the car at the Wal-Mart on Grafton Road in Morgantown. On Friday, I found a second penny at the Royal Farms convenience store on Providence Road in Towson, Maryland. Saturday was the big day finding two dimes. Both dimes were found in stairwells of apartment complexes while touring the apartments for the possibility of finding our future home. The first apartment was St. Charles at Old Court in Pikesville, Maryland. The second was at Red Run Apartments in Owings Mills, Maryland. On Sunday, I found two pennies at the Sheetz convenience store in Hagerstown, Maryland on the way home and another dime at the Kroger on Route 7 in Sabraton (Morgantown) when getting milk for James after returning home.

Weekly Total: $0.34
YTD Total: $6.53
