I have to wear a suit and tie to work - manager's stuff, and ties are expensive (minimum $14 on up). Well, you can't wear the same tie - people notice. At Goodwill, I not only found suits for less than $10 but an array of outlandish ties for every occasion for about a $1 - maybe $2 a piece! Staff come by my ofice just to see the tie of the day!<BR/><BR/>Secondly. Consider looking in your local paper for Unit Storage Auctions. I have found this beats garage sales in a wicked way. For one thing, the owner just wants the deadbeat renter out - and the deadbeat owner won't get the stuff or in some cases might be dead. So to get some sort of money back, they hold an auction. You won't believe what some people will leave behind. It's a fun scavenger hunt. <BR/><BR/>Well, I have taken up enough of your post, but will tell you I also have some coupon sites if you are ever interested. I have no money either...

They all stunk really bad and were stained. Basically I wasted gas on trash. :( Same thing with a bag of baby stuff. We decided no more. It's great that it works somewhere though.<BR/><BR/>I just discoered Craigslist a few weeks ago. Keeping our eyes out for photography ops.

Great for stew, cakes, soups, just about every thing if you cooking with an open flame, like camping in the everglades or some such sillyness like that. <BR/><BR/>Hugs and KissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
