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!!!!

It is true that people often leave behind the good finds. I am amazed at the good stuff that can be found at the end of a yard sale.

What bargains! You sounds like me - I'm a library sale, thrift store, yard sale junkie! I love a good bargain and that's part of the thrill for me!

God bless you ~ Julie

I love the idea of a Christmas book! Besides ideas for gifts and receipes, what else to you put in yours? I only have 2 children but love those bargains...and I am so glad your little one is doing well. Merry Christmas

About Me

I am an extremely happy wife and mama to eleven children. That's not a typo, I really said eleven. I'm 38 years old. I've been homeschooling since 1993. WOW! We have had three children graduate. Since our youngest hasn't been born yet, it looks like I will be here for awhile. Our newest edition is due January 4, 2008! ------------------------------------------------------------ All Content Copyright (c) Candy Foote & Foote Family Ministries -All rights reserved
