| | went to ralphs with one of my roommates yesterday. after i bought my stuff, she drew my attention to a bag of coins sitting on a nearby coinstar machine (thingy that counts coins and gives you real money for them). it was a plastic rubios bag with a couple holes in it and the coinstar machine was off/broken. our guess is someone came to cash in on the coins, saw the machine didn't work, and was like ah screw it, and left the bag there. the bag was pretty heavy. 5-10 pounds, maybe?
we decided to take it. got an extra ralphs bag to put around it, and brought it home. we started a pool. whoever had the most accurate guess gets to keep the value of the coins in amazon gift certificate. (coinstar usually takes a percentage if you redeem in cash, but gives you full value if you redeem in certain gift certificate amounts, like for amazon.com.)
first i just jokingly guessed it was like $5, but then my roommate said she cashed in some coins before and estimated the bag be worth $65. i was like psshhhhh, but here were our final guesses:
cat: $29
me: $40
sarah: $65
i stopped by albertsons today...
