I bought my son&#39;s jeans thrift style because he had very poor fine motor skills; he could handle the button and zipper on a used pair of jeans, but new ones were too hard. Thrift to the rescue!Daisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-14806878158517329262009-12-29T19:25:19.162-08:002009-12-29T19:25:19.162-08:00at some point this summer i decided i wanted a pasta maker. i didn&#39;t want one made of plastic and i wasn&#39;t about to spend the money on a brand spanking new metal one so i watched and waited and, sure enough, my buddy craig listed exactly what i wanted for $30. roughly 1/3 of what i would have paid in the store. my friend craig has brought me rabbits for my garden, apple trees, chicks, bed linens and table cloths and all manner of things. i&#39;m hoping in the spring he&#39;ll help me find some turkey chicks.debranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-1818486254562374192009-12-29T18:43:23.173-08:002009-12-29T18:43:23.173-08:00@Rob - I had no idea you could do that.

Cant find blank tapes? well then cover the security tab of an old tape You don&#39;t watch anymore with a small piece of tape and you have a tape you can record on! Often VHS Movies from the thrift store are cheaper than blank VHS tapes so you keep one out of the landfill when you do this!Robj98168http://www.blogger.com/profile/12449968557883132353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-79254858857522542272009-12-29T05:12:53.516-08:002009-12-29T05:12:53.516-08:00excellent ideas! I myself need to try thrift store hunting for my own clothes... that may help me feel less dowdy as well!<br /><br />I recently switched to formula from breastfeeding and was devastated by all the apparent waste from the cans... problem solved once I started thinking and used them as packaging for Christmas gifts. It was like a game and all the more fun for it!fearlesschefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03952785632790506850noreply@blogger.com
