  • I keep it, only if its a dollar or under. I put it in a family jar and my logic is, "it was meant to be saved away". must not have been worth taking out of pockets...

    now if id just stop finding pens AFTER the wash, thatd be great....

  • I consider it a finder's fee. A nice little way to say thanks, Mom, for washing my dirty clothes.

  • DH and I rarely carry cash, so it's not that big of a deal to find money. Lol... If it's coins, I put them in the coin jar in our kitchen. If it's in dollar form, I usually just give it back.

  • I would think that it is our money anyway, so unless I was doing someone else's laundry, I would keep it and put it in our piggy bank.

  • The rule of the house is that each person is responsible for cleaning out their own pockets If I have to empty them, all mony is mine autimatically. Iti it is trash of pencils/pens etc that would ruin clothes It is one dollar if I catch it before it goes in and five if I do not. Things like jewelry, flash drives etc Is five dollars plus.

    I can be negotiated with. I will take it out in trade or chores.

    Yes I keep the money (seriously, I do not have hardly ANYTHING left in any poctet.
