Frugal friday

I love junk stores. 

They remind me of our local library.

No, really!

I went into the library looking for a book, but couldn't find it.

When I asked the librarian about it, she replied, "Candy, you always want the classics, but we don't carry the classics any more."

What!  So did all of those good books go?  You can find them at the library book sales.

Ok, back to the junk store.  Sometimes when we go to the junk stores, the kids will yell, "Mom, there are too many people here.  They probably got all of the good stuff."

"Nay," I reply, "nobody thinks like me!"

You see, nobody wants the good stuff!

I got four really nice heavy duty wooden spoons at 5 cents each!  I picked up a set of 5 stainless steel bowls for $3.99.

Best of all, I got two cast iron frying pans in excellent shape.  One was 75 cents and the other one was a dollar!

Happy Frugal Friday!!!!

Great

Hello-
I was wondering if maybe you had something to enter into the Homesteading Carnival?
If you don't have anything, that is ok too!
Thank you,
Rachel

I absolutely love junk stores...especially when you get awesome deals and you do NOT have to pay all the extra taxes.
