Well, as you can see it’s not Monday, but I am trying my best to keep my brain consistent so for this purpose  – welcome to Monday again!   Did you find any yard sales or thrift stores last week?  It’s still a little too early in my neck of the woods for yard sales, so it’s thrift stores for me.  Here’s what I found that I needed to bring home with me last week.

This set has never been used.  And mine only has one lonely baking pan left in it after 22 years of marriage.  Also, Liv doesn’t eat meat, so anytime I make a lasagna or something like that I am scrambling to find a dish to put her supper in separately.  This solves all of those problems!  Plus, it’s pretty hobnail!  $4.99

Liv went into our local Goodwill last Saturday and spotted this hanging on the wall.  It’s velvet and will be perfect for one of the school dances next winter.   The best thing is they only charged me $1.99 for it!  Woo-hoo.  Liv said one of the girls at school was talking about how much her parents had had to spend on a dress for a dance last year and Liv quietly asked her why she didn’t just look at the Goodwill.  She said her friend looked blank, like she had never even thought about it.  Some people also have a stigma in their mind about thrift store shopping too.  I obviously don’t have this problem.  Ahem.

This book is awesome.  I picked it up and couldn’t put it down.  $2.00

A new to me set of curtains for our bathroom.  I love the linen look of them, and they are lined!  $4.00 for both panels.

I saw this sitting in our local Salvation Army for a couple of weeks and I ignored it just like everybody else.  Then Liv mentioned that we are getting low on ink in our current cheapo printer that we have at home.  And finally a light bulb went on over my head.

Here’s a little back story for you.  Every single time we need ink I either go to Amazon.com or Wal-mart and buy the cheapest model of printer they have.  Usually around $30.00.  And every single time the ink runs out, it’s still cheaper to go buy another HP or Canon cheapo printer.  Then, I donate the old one.  And they sell it every single time.

Anyhoo, I knew this was a higher end printer than the ones I ususally shell out $30 bucks for each time, so I checked on Amazon.com for replacement inks for this bad boy and guess what?  I can get two complete sets of ink for $10.00!  Heck yeah, this ones coming home with me for $5.89.  So for $15.89 I won’t have to buy another cheapo printer, donate another cheapo printer, and I can make the world a better place for it.

This week I spent $18.87.  What did you find?
