Good deals all around!

I have been having some amazing luck. I was disappointed that I ended up forgetting all the kids medicine at the old place. Things like tylenol, cold medicine, etc. I also had noticed that I was running low on my stockpile of toys that I like to keep around for kids to take to birthday parties. I buy things as I find them on sale and send the kids with a good present I only paid a few bucks for when they attend a party. Well, I went up town and saw that the drug store was having a sidewalk sale on and selling things at rock bottom prices. Toys that were regularly $10.99 were now a dollar! They had kids medicine on for really cheap too! I got the kids vitamins, tylenol, allergy relief, cold medication and everything. I also got so many future gifts it wasn't even funny. But it will all come in handy sometime. That's for sure. I ended up getting $274 worth of stuff for $67! And no tax! 

And then this morning as I was drinking my coffee I realized I had no where to put it. No end tables, no coffee tables and no kitchen table. I was thinking about how nice it would be to have just a small coffee table or even a TV table. Just something to set beside my chair (no couch either).  Another thing I noticed that we needed was a small garbage can. I thought I would take Jimmy out to some garage sales tomorrow and see what we could find. 

Well, I took the garbage out to the dumpster today and I noticed two black metal legs sticking up. I know how wasteful people can be so it wouldn't have surprised me if it had of been a table in good shape. I looked at it as best I could considering it was covered in garbage. I walked around and thought about it and decided to heck with the neighbors I was going to go for it. I had to stand on the part that the garbage truck arms go into and try and grab it. I ended up dropping the table, half falling inside the dumpster and then onto the ground. So much for trying to be inconspicuous. I figured the damage was done so I didn't even look around. I just grabbed my perfectly good table and walked into my apartment like I owned it. 

I also thought that I saw a nice looking TV tray in there. I wanted some time to regain my composure before going out to try for it. I waited until dark and when I went out to get it I found a good surprise! Now on top of the TV tray was 2 full garbage bags of pop cans! There has to be at least $30 worth. So looks like I got some perfectly good furniture and $30! Oh and I found a nice small white garbage can. That's right! I found all the things I wanted for the apartment for free right outside my door!
