My church had a sale yesterday. I got a 4-cup coffeemaker(still in the box), large grapevine wreath thing with flowers, Artic Zone lunch box, bag of books, box of plates, cups and bowls, and a large box full of small plastic freezer containers.
All for $5.
Now I need to learn how to cook so I can freeze some things.

Today I went yard saling too!

Bread maker, am told it works (haven't tested it out yet, that'll have to wait til Monday) ~ $10.

Television stand ~ $5

Answering machine ~ Free (Freecycle)

I probably would've haggled better for the bread machine, but it was for a charity (The Nova Scotia Arthritis Society) so I settled on $10 (asking price was $15).

Also, as a reward to myself for being so good with my Pilates (5 days a week for the past four weeks!) I splurged and bought myself a good straigtening iron for my hair.
