It's the economy stupid! or look at how cheap OR frugal I can be. - BarEdul - 11-24-2013
Okay. Your all up wardly mobile individuals. I rarely imagine many of you yard selling or scrapping it BUT I DO. THERE ARE a couple of bonafide reasons I do it 1) old habits are hard to break and I WAS raised by some damn poor people 2) value value and value 3) if you buy or trade something from a private person charity or vendor any taxes are their headache. 4) oddly vintage scores can be turned for a profit or turned into unique vintage presents CLOSE friends have been warned about and finally it gives me an excuse to not only donate item to other sales but money on,purchases and waste time on odd Saturdays purusing junk. So I prupose a mad deal of the day week month... If you won't admit to snaping up other peoples crap in this economy I will. No I don't dumpster dive. I am not above a trade or free. However I have my limits. And sombodies dirty linen etc is it. I don't do rotten anything stink gross or poo for free unless it's pre aged compost and my yard needs its.
Yes I have intentionally bought stuff I needed from a friend to keep them going somethings some people just don't need to know I am up too.
So Christmas is coming...I have corralled so nice green recycled gifts for some cunning savings.

First item up..unused clean brand new in the box bakeware...brand name stoneware with instructions. I actually new the donor small Towns help. So..a $35.00 item for $2.98 with 6 % tax. Ooh that hurt me the wrapping paper will cost more.

Next item gifted to a eager friend pre-Christmas A baby George Foreman rotisserie electric with all the attachments lacking a manual and box. All information available on line for free with recipes with downloadable pdf manual. Not to mention replacable parts. Condition perfect working. Located it at a local charity church for the ultimately incredible price of...dug duh dun ...50 cents. This items value bounces between $55.00 plus shipping to $89.00 plus shipping. The friend wanted a rotisserie for ages this one could only be found in this size easily by ronco now or on ebay.

Oh...anybody exsposed to these gifts are excused from them if they tell me they don't like the idea. Hey I can live with that.. But don't freak if my other friend gets the 14 kt gold opal bracelet and necklace I found..on your birthday at an estate auction a week ago.
