Yesterday morning, my mom, Barb, Lisa and I went garage sale-ing. You should see the treasures I found!!!! I bought a 15.00 MICROWAVE! Now I had no intention of buying a used microwave. What changed my mind was that it was completely clean and when I stuck my nose in the chamber, I didn’t smell anything! No popcorn smell, nothing. I can only assume it was never or rarely used. The guy was asking 20. I offered 15 and he accepted it. This saves me 100.00! And I don’t have to be bothered searching out the perfect microwave.

I also bought a matching Coach hat and purse for 5.00. The thing is, I am almost 100% certain they are fake. The woman I bought them from told me they were her daughter’s and she had bought them from eBay for 150.00!?! Poor girl was taken to the cleaners. I can’t find a serial number on either item and the stitching isn’t perfect. What does it matter? I only spent 5.00!

The last item I bought was The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook. I’ve wanted this book for ages but it just sat on my Amazon Wishlist getting pushed farther and farther back. I paid 50 cents for it! And already I know how to deliver a baby and jump out of a building into a dumpster. Knowledge is power!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also bought a marble rolling pin for a buck. I figure I can make pierogies now. They are so easy to make and I was taught how to make them when I was visiting relatives in Slovakia. My father called it Pierogi U. They only used flour, water, and a pinch of salt. For the filling, it was potatoes, mashed. Gosh, they were so good! If I make them, I can freeze them and they would be an easy meal. Of course, it is just as easy to buy Mrs T’s.
