I remember standing on a similar grate at my grandparents' house and the delight, on a cold New England winter day, of the heat blowing up my skirt. I would pretend to fly as my skirt whirled up and around and I held my arms out like wings!Donna M.

I shop, for the most part, at discount stores. Even on Amazon, I buy from the used book sellers at fabulous discounts. We also buy in bulk at Grocery Outlet. Last month, we bought many flats of veggies like spinach, black eyed pears, turnip greens, collard greens, and green beans there and saved 50% over other stores. Our emergency pantry is pretty well stocked as I've mentioned to you before and it's growing all the time. I'm going to start looking at Goodwill, etc. for odds and ends like books and other treasures. Happy hunting!!Barb Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622630143832437565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249592045442388060.post-9155326360554616662009-01-30T21:27:00.000-06:002009-01-30T21:27:00.000-06:00very timely post! i was just thinking about findin...very timely post! i was just thinking about finding a consignment store this weekend to get some end tables for my apartment.<BR/><BR/>Tell Cindy I said hi!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895928496762312354noreply@blogger.com
