Also a saying I grew up with but here in the US I was told if you find a penny on heads to pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck I like your way better so many lost penny's
Do any of you remember going to the corner mom and pop grocery store with a few pennies? They had a full glass case of dozens of pieces of candy (penny candy). You could get quite a few pieces of candy. You got a cool paper bag and when you left with your treasure, you had a big smile on your face.
I think I may be younger so inflation had set it, but I definitely remember the joy of the occasional "open candy paper bag run."
Heck, I remember taking a piece or two without paying, and having my grandfather realize it after we'd left and marching me back into the store to apologize and pay. I was probably 5 or so... 😁
Went to The Mall yesterday and the cost of the gumball machine was 50 cent, lol. That was a bummer, so thanks for balancing it out in my head with these good memories. 👍
