July Yard Sale/Flea Market Finds

July didn't yield a lot of deals, but that was directly related to the fact that there wasn't many sales to go to.  But, the deals we did find were awesome.  Here's what we were able to find...

July 20th we stopped at the Gamber Fire Dept Flea Market.  It was hotter than hot, so there wasn't a lot of people set up, maybe 35.  There also wasn't a lot of buyers there either, because we were able to park right on the lot.  We were late getting there, about 11, and the show was over at 1, so people were in the 'I don't want to pack it up and take it home' kinda mood, my favorite, as it makes for some great deals!  Here's what we ended up with...

3 vintage Children's books $0.50 ea = 3/$1.50

3-7 ct + handle Scotch Brite Toilet Scrubbers (originally $2 each) = 3/$2

1 Over-the-door Ironing Board Holder (originally $3.50) = $2

1 Round Litter Box with Lid (not pictured, originally $10) = $5

Total OOP: $10.50

Menu Plan Monday: 11/04/2013

With my morning sickness continuing into the second trimester, I still haven't been making many meals.  I try to cook every couple days, while remaking the leftovers over the days in between.  So far, just for the two of us, it's been working pretty good, and things are getting used up, so I count in a win.  Here's what I making this week...

Breakfasts: Bagels with Butter or Cream Cheese

Lunches: Leftovers, or PBJ/Egg Salad/Ham Sandwiches

Dinners:

Sunday - Pizza Hut $10 Pizza

Monday - Meatloaf (Recipe to Come), and Onion Rings

Tuesday - Leftover Meatloaf

Wednesday - Crock-pot Pork Roast and Baked Potatoes

Thursday - Dinner with Joe's Grandfather, probably at Chili's :)

Friday - Leftover Pork, Rice Cooker Mac and Cheese

Saturday - Soup and Bread - TBA

Extras: Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
