Yard sale... A pneumatic brad nailer in very-good condition, sells for $80 new, got it for $15. A lever-type nail puller in good shape, sells for $10 new, got it for $3. So works out to paying 20%. Made me happy.

Completely out of grain and feed and its Sunday. Need to make a trip to the river to buy in bulk, but in the meantime, I forced the waterfowl into the garden (overgrown) to cleanup and have free food. 2 birds....one stone. Also, I have several very happy ducks and geese.

Free canning jars, all I had to do was dump the old stuff out and not all the jars had food in them. I scored over 18 cases of 2 quarts, quarts and pints, a friend got about 20 cases. I figure the savings are about 126.00 based on $7.00 per case just for the ones I got. And the owner of the storage unit has more and asked me to come back.:D I love free stuff!
