Some of you like me probably have a savings bond or more laying around. In a safe deposit box or in a shoe box under the bed?

When I sold Rubbermaid years ago I won a bond and then when DH was in the hospital and they "gave him his first blood glucose monitor, those things were expencive and there was a $100 rebate. Well it was a savings bond that was worth what $37.50. Well we passed the face value now....I think that is exciting. We never cashed them in because when we needed money less than $50 was not going to even come close to enough....so I just left it in the tin box. Now we could take a nice road trip around Nebraska and eat on the road too...lol........

Anyway.....here is a calculator to tell you what your bonds are worth. http://wwws.publicdebt.treas.gov/BC/SBCPrice

not just E and EE but I and Savings Notes too......it is easy......Have fun are you sitting on something you didn't know about? Janet

Thank you, Janet.

I think my DH has one bouncing around the file drawer. I'll have to check it out.

Have a great day.

Janet, Thanks, I found that my $25 bond is worth $206.75. When I had my tonsils out at around 10-11 the anesthioligist(sp)told my Mom not to worry about his bill and buy me a bond. She did and I still have it. It is in my maiden name so I guess I would have to take my birth certificate to cash it. I always thought it was just worth the 25 bucks. Duh! KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!
