It's funny what you can find when you pay attention to your surroundings. While out working in the yard my guy noticed these Scotch Titanium-coated scissors just sitting in the road. Aside from a couple of scratches on the handles they are like new. We can always use scissors, but I was surprised when I looked them up -- to buy them it would cost $14.98.
The next day I was walking Shadow on the same road, and as I came to the corner I noticed a tool in the middle of the road. This 3/4" combination wrench was definitely brand new and probably part of a set that fell off someone's work truck. To replace it would cost around $11.00.
Today during two separate walks on the same road I found a nearly-new bic lighter and a nearly full pack of cigarettes. I think someone threw them out of a car, but I picked up both because we have a lot of kids in the neighborhood who might have otherwise gotten hold of them. The lighter only costs $1.99, but the cigarettes are currently going for $10.49 a pack. While I added the lighter to our emergency supply stash, I threw away the cigarettes with great pleasure. :)
