The Rest of Junk Week

Junk Hunting days 2 and 3 were not as profitable as day 1.

I must admit that the load we got on Sunday was pretty out-of-the-ordinary!

DAY 2

Colin went by himself and got the following:

A reeeeeeally old radio that he wants to turn into a CD player. Total savings: $0.








A plant pot that I've been wanting to buy for a few years. Total savings: $25.

Also a few other little things. Not much this day.


DAY 3

We both got to go out. As we were driving down a cul-de-sac, who do we run into? My parents! Fellow rubber-neckers of the sidewalk treasures! We got them hooked last year when we got them a treadmill.


More plant pots. I had pots almost IDENTICAL to these in my shopping cart at Home Depot on Sunday, but put them back just incase I'd find them junking! Whaddya know?

Total savings: $15

No, you are not seeing double. We got another crib. Didn't we tell you we're having twins? Just kidding. I thought I liked it better so we brought it home. And I do like it better, so not only did we SAVE money, we might sell the other one and MAKE money!

Total savings: $150 (matress not included)

You ready for this rare jewel? This is one of the reasons I love Colin so much. He's so random. So unique! Look what he picked up:

Yes, that is a corn on the cob candle. It's like he won the lottery.

Total savings: $0. There's NO WAY we'd spend money on this.









And finally, when it was too dark to hunt any more, we went to Timmy's because I was starving by then.

Total savings: -$2.50




So as a recap:

Total savings from day 1: $850
Total savings from day 2: $25
Total savings from day 3: $162.50
Total savings from all week: $1037.50
Having the experience of junk hunting: $Priceless

There are some things that money can buy. For everything else, there's Junk Week.
