Local thrift and Dollar Tree fun !


For some reason, we all had trouble getting to sleep and staying that way, so we were up early. Ran the deposit to the bank, got the bacon special from our local grocer, plus a few other needs, wants, and sales. Beloved Hubby had some work to do in the garage, so while taking out the Ranger, he and Dearest Son scored doughnuts. Yummm !


While everybody did their own thing, I decided to run out for a bit, check out that local thrift I do so well at. Not a lot this week, but I found an expensive frame and an American Girl Activity Spinner. For some reason, you dial an color and activity, and I guess you then dig in the box for a card that matches. Found them as ‘no longer available’ on the AG site, but they’d been marked down to $2. Got mine, and the frame, for 50¢, not bad at all !


Hit a couple of yard sales that should have been ‘curb-scavenge before Big Trash Day’, and decided to hit Dollar Tree on my own, a rare event. Found a Frozen activity book that came with a snowflake charm bracelet and a Pixar one with ‘Over 1000 Stickers’ and fold-out backgrounds to use them on. Really nice for a dollar !


Got a replacement Wonder Woman comic art tote bag – gave mine away Wednesday – and a small zipper bag with reversible sequins for purse miscellany. It can probably be seen from low earth orbit, it’s kind of loud, originally designed as a cell-phone cross-body tote. I could have made myself a little zipper bag, but I like the sequins, and for an indulgence, it’s hard to beat $1. The rest was groceries and home stuff.


 By then it was lunchtime. Made myself Leftover Serenade, which combines anything that might taste good together. If it’s good, it’s worth repeating, if not, at least it was made from stuff that was trash-bound anyway. Today’s was refried beans, canned chili, turkey bits, and some pasta, stirred in a mug with a bit of water. Not bad at all !


Gonna nap for a bit before dinner. Hope your Saturday had fun surprises, too !
