About a year or so ago, I went shopping at Goodwill and bought a handbag. It was a large, black, leather handbag with silver studs. It was my style and I had to have it, plus it was under $5!
I brought it home but didn't transfer everything from my old handbag to the new one right away. It was about a week later, I decided to switch out handbags.
As I was opening all the compartments of the handbag and swiping it out with my hand to clean the inner liner of any debris, I felt a small piece of paper swipe against my hand. At a closer look, I seen it was a folded up twenty-dollar bill!
Has anything like this ever happened to you?

This has never happened to me, but it has to my sister on several occasions. The most I have ever found is a quarter.

I've found money in thrift store purses, too. The last one I got was this bright red thing... totally not my usual style, but I just had to have it for some reason. Beats me.
Anyway, it had a bunch of pockets, and one of them had $6 in it.
My luck runs more to finding really nice, like-new designer purses for $5 or less, though.

Never happen to me.
It is hard to find shops that sell second-hand bags.
Perhaps i will look harder.
I think if the owner is selling her bag, she will take out all the money.
If the owner had passed on, and her family is selling all her used items, they may not check carefully.

That is a great find!! 
This purse may give you good fortune or good luck some would say!! 
But, I do occasionally find money in my purse when I switch them out and then switch back - I would be over joyed.. but never bought anything and found money hehe.

Score. I have found money on the sidewalk, in the grass, in a pile of trash and leaves against the fence. Never in a purse that was not my own.
