Leave Impressions on Less Money

Pocket sized rubber stamps are handy to keep in your pocket for numerous advertising opportunities. On thumb tack bulletin boards often, there is a day the adds are cleared off the boards. However, have you notice how some fliers do not get pulled do to some reason of favoritism? So, If you should stamp your advertisement on those fliers, your stamp often stays there with the flier until flier is also pulled. This way you can save money on business cards too.

Frugal Enough to Get Them from Behind?

     Also, toilet paper is cheap and not rendered useless if you leave you a stamp on it for the next user to see. You could hear crap about this. But if it brings you paying work or business, your rear can sit on a fatter wallet stuffed with money. You could say you got paid for taking crap from clients. Trying to keep this post clean is hard. But you might say some users will make a clean getaway. To clear the air, I am sure you may find so many places to leave a stamp. This method is not for more image minded businesses of course.

  Using your business stamp while you are stamping hands for admittance to an event is better choice than a generic stamp. Young children sometimes like to have their hand stamped. When I donate or give away used books, I like to stamp a few pages. If I give another persons business card out on referral I like to stamp the back of their card so they remember who referred them.

   Where ever you folks leave your stamp, be sure your mark leaves no damage, as vandalism is not in the savings plan of course. As these rubber stamps are really inexpensive and ink so cheap, maybe you know a frugal friend you should share this with??

In some countries there are coin operated machine such as at laundry mats or car washes that sometimes people forget to pick up their change by the machines or from the coin dispensers. At car washes, some vacuum machines have coins laying around or inside the vacuum waste trap. Also fast food places with a drive through drop change by accident and do not bother to pick it up. Do not forget to check around in cushion chairs or the ground around picnic tables for lost pocket change. At parks coins are often lost beneath swing sets and other such provisions of entertainment. Dirty laundry hampers may have clothes with change left in the pockets too. Fairs, Flea markets, open markets and such are vulnerable to loosing change where vendors give change and customers dig in their pockets. In grassy parks or on beaches, a metal detector with a coin probe often works well. A ice pick works for a cheap coin probe. For a cheap hand held metal detector for a small search, a calculator and a small am radio can be taped together. Under car seats have yielded coins too. Always be aware that used clothes and purses at garage sales and thrift stores have yielded money to the buyers before!

Seems to be lots of ways to find a treasure of value, such as antiquing, thrifting, garage sales, metal detecting, classified adds, mining, scrapping, and so much more! So many types of valuable items could put money in your pocket! What kind of treasure do you look for? What is your favorite treasure find?

Found this gold ring with my garage sale metal detector! It is 14 karat gold with 2 small diamonds in it! This is a fun hobby that can be rewarding too! So should I sell it or hold on to it? How do you determine what to do with your great finds?  Dyg
