I'm not a big fan of garage and yard sales but early this morning I was returning home with a load of gravel in my pickup and noticed a lady setting up her yard sale about a mile from home. There was a three point hitch post hole digger laying there and I turned in to take a look. I have some fence mending to do later this year. While there I started to look at some of the stuff out on her tables. I picked up a small glass jar with a clamp type sealed lid and asked her how much she wanted for it. She said 45 cents. I could tell that it was brand new. While I was scrounging for some change she told me that she has a box of 24 of them. I asked to see them and while I was looking at them she said $8 for the 24 of them. I'm no genius but I quickly figured that 33 cents each was a better deal. I told her I would take them. All I had was a $20 bill, a $5 bill and $1 single. I handed her the $20 and she grumbled something and said she couldn't make change. She saw that I had the $5 and the single dollar and said just give me the $6 and they're yours.
25 cents each ain't too bad. I don't think that box had ever been opened. Each jar has a different design painted on it. I hope they're not from China. The box does not say.
No I didn't buy the post hole digger - she wanted $100 and it was broken.
