Lucky (speechless and wordless!) Wednesday

I reached for the last of the gallon-sized baggies, and underneath I found…

I SWEAR I have no idea how a 5 EURO bill was in the bottom of my gallon sized Ziplock-style baggies. I live in the US and as far as I know, the bags were made in the US… so how’d the bill get there!?

Is someone playing a prank and if so, who got to go to Europe without me!?!?

Regardless, I guess I’m about $10US richer, no?

    mmmmm…. could you tell us WHERE you bought those bags? lol I’m not sure what the exchange rate is now but surely you could have a decent lunch on that, even if it’s just fast food. Oh, you could get a couple of gallons of gas maybe… if you hurry!

    I hope you’ll get a chance to stop by and check out my WW contribution for today! The treasure I picture was found by a friend and is not quite as fun or pleasant as yours though.

    The name ‘Elaine’ in French means something about eternal light, right?

    I’m not sure where I bought them. They are a generic brand so either Publix or WalMart? Would it say that on the box?

    Is it? I’ve only been there twice and I honestly didn’t like it that much. I didn’t get to see any of the other parts of the UK, though.
