Actually, I'm pretty excited because I found out that I paid roughly $150 less for plane tickets bought within days of one another (and I was traveling about twice as far!).

I have also found things befor the trash man gets hear..a near new ping pong table with all the paddles and such,a candle holder that Liberache' would have loved to have..turned out it was the realm deal too.It amazes me at what folks throw away.
Did I mention garage sales and trade days....im in hog heaven...need I say more..my grannie would be proud to know she raised me right on this.

Our Goodwills up here are EXCELLENT resources for really nice, namebrand clothing for pennies on the dollar. I've also used Freecycle.org and got a fully operational smoker grill and accessories (about $350ish) for less than $40 (the cost to rent a truck and the gas to get out in the boonies to go get it).
