9/7:

-Biz Sample

-Intuition Razor

-Thermometer for our Weber grill - This broke a few months ago and I finally went on line to order a new one. I could not find it on there site so I called the 800 #. The rep asked what the problem was and also when the grill was purchased, she then told me it was still under warranty and sent it to me for free. The grill is 4yrs old!!! And to think, I was ready to pay for a new one.

I brought home one of those big toy cars for my daughter to ride on. Someone had it out for the garbage man. She loves it and I dont have to worry about leaving it outside and someone stealing it.

It was in good shape, but I gave it a good cleaning before letting her use it - in case anyone was concerned

Landlords raised the rent $200 dollars a month and people are fleeing the builing in droves so today I dumpster dove

One working almost new floor lamp - friend who was diving with me took it as I already have a nice floor lamp

Almost new wastebasket and toilet brush set... going to soak in bleach before using

A very nice, nearly new towell, obviously expensive, egyptian cotton

1/2 box of S.O.S pads

1 very nice wine glass

1 unopened package of disposable razors

We also found but did not take as we did not need/want them

1 desk that needs a little repair, a mop, a broom, a table in need of easy repair, collabsable cloth chair Ikea style and a small chrome rack/cart for kitchen, left them a little obvious so hopefully someone else will take them home...

I am always amazed at how wasteful people can be.

I also garage saled 4 silver plate serving spoons .25 cents each
1 small limoges demitasse (sp) chocolate cup, no chips, cherry blossom pattern $1
4 books $1
1 cool 1950's state tourist glass for West Virginia, like brand new $3
1 very nice roasting pan from the 30s to 50s. Has a very deco feel, the whole thing is cast into a single piece so the handles will never come off, has a matching lid and the original roasting tray inside. I have been looking for one for over a year now. I was determined not to pay $30 for a thin cheap one or even more for a good quality one at a specialty shop.
This was marked $10 and I got it for $5.
Woo Hoo!! Great day for deals!

Geesh, more than I can think of off hand. Last week I got 2 28 ounce jars of jelly. Just today, from Freecycle, I picked up a hamster, her cage, bedding, toys, food, ect. and an Ikea kitchen/microwave cart that's perfect for us. My boys are going to be so excited when they see their new to them hamster. :)
