    Default I got an unbelievable deal at the thrift store!

    Apparently, the delivery truck had erroneously delivered CASES of Gloria Vanderbilt perfume to a local fast food restaurant.

    For some reason, the delivery company couldn't/wouldn't take them back. I dunno. Maybe the trucker was 300 miles away by the time the mistake was discovered.

    The restaurant was allowed to keep them.

    The restaurant donated them to our local thrift store.

    I bought a case ... 24 half-ounce spray bottles ... for $10. (They retail about $15 apiece. )

    I'm set! Think about gift giving:

    Secretary's Day .... Gloria Vanderbilt perfume.
    Sunday School Teacher .... Gloria Vanderbilt perfume.
    music teacher .... Gloria Vanderbilt perfume.
