    Default In the dumpster today....

    WE live in an apartment and today as i was throughot a particularly stinky diaper I found:

    ~an unopened bottle of Drano (a we have a slow drain!!!)

    ~Unopened Lever 2000 bar soap packages

    ~two rolls of x-mas paper

    ~An UNOPENED box of 14 Clorox ReadyMop cleaning pads (and we use the Clorox Mop!!!)

    It was mid-day and usually if I see something good I wait until night fall but I just grabbed the stuff right then. I have no one really to impress .

    My bathroom drain is now working perfectly FOR FREE!!!! I don't know why I get so excited but it is like x-mas! LOL!

    Way to go! I love Dumpster finds. Four of the beautiful ferns on my porch are dumpster finds. I find myself quickly looking around to see if anyone is watching and then quickly putting the stuff in my car.
