October 15, 2007 - Sweet Bargain...
I am so excited. After sitting in the dentist's office for an hour today, I headed home, needing to stop at the grocery store. Just before the grocery store, I see the second hand store in our town. I stop quickly just to browse, but tell my daughter, NO CLOTHES.
We go in and I skim the adult books, then quickly check the children's books. I found the Foot Book by Dr. Suess. We had this summer lost our copy due to it being left outside during a rainstorm. I found two true to life history books, Anne Frank and another one from a Danish/Dutch version of this same war. Then, I spy two Rod and Staff Spelling books. Grade 6 and Grade 7. Neither one is written in. The covers show some shelf wear, but really good shape. I was so excited. I had been looking for these for some time and have bid on several on ebay, but I just can't afford much so always got outbid.
My total cost for the quick stop... was $1.50. And the $1 was for my daughter's blouse (remember I said NO CLOTHES... I am such a push over... can't pass a half price very nice white blouse up!) But the books were 50 cents... 10 cents each! God is so good! My husband tells me I should sell the spelling books on ebay, now, considering I always got outbid... we both laughed. Maybe, after I am done with them!
Warmly,
Melissa

Thank you for the great comments on my blog. It can be so hard to keep our things in order.
What great buys!! I love used stores. I always look there before buying new.
