Salem shoppers find $100 bills in grocery items

SALEM -- Grocery store shoppers in Salem have been finding $100 dollar bills hidden inside egg cartons, behind bottles of formula, by the loaves of bread.

The manager of a Fred Meyer store in South Salem tells the Statesman Journal that seven customers have reported finding $100 bills in or near various types of groceries in recent weeks. April Richards says store employees aren't sure who is leaving the money behind.

Salem resident Ashley Beebehiser says she was shocked when she found $100 bill in a carton of eggs. She decided to turn it into the store. She'll get it back if no one claims it after 30 days.

Richard Silva says his wife also found a $100 bill at a Walmart store in South Salem Sunday. It was inside a pink candle.
