Monday MoneySavers

I didnt hit any of the estates/garage sales happening this week.  Sometimes one needs a break I did go to the thrift store after dropping Avasha off at a scrapbooking party on Sunday. Instead of heading home, I hung around and hit 3 different thrift stores.

I spent $7.99. I have been good. I resist the urge to buy yet another beautiful and cheap xyz.

I walked around the entire store. Fondling things, looking at the bottom  for markings. Putting them back regretfully. I found a set of Lenox bowls that go from the freezer to the oven to the table. I dont remember the pattern name. It was 99 cents each and in very good condition. I wanted  to buy them but do I really need  more bowls. I put them back on the shelf regretfully.

I went around to the books and found these in vintage condition.

8 brand new comic books. $0.69 cents each

 They are from June 83-85. Brand new pristine condition. Why did someone donate them? After keeping it all these years? Because they arent valuable? Or did a angry wife/mother just get pissed and threw it out.  My internet connection wasnt working so I couldnt google whether it was valuable. I texted a friend and she didnt know either. I then just bought it, thinking I will list on CL. If it doesnt sell then I could use it to decoupage something for the boy’s room.

Here’s something I purchased a while ago. I think it was a garage sale find for fifty cents. I dont actually know what it is for but I use it to hold my sponges at the sink.

Dirty Sink

I bought this in Jan(going by the photo’s properties).

Freshly squeezed OJ

My kids are on Spring break this week. Wish me luck.
