In March I found:
Plates - Have needed new ones for a while, and I wanted the white utility looking ones that Marty uses at work. We could have ordered them at any time but he forgot to in 2007, and of course in 2008 we couldn't buy them. A church must have gotten rid of theirs because my local thrift store had about 100 of them - 4/$2.40. I bought 12.
Juicer - On SCD I can't use any concentrated juice and we have been using a lot of fresh, so I wanted a juicer. Found a barely used one (might even be new, but since I bought it at the thrift store, I assume that it is ok...) for $4.50. Love it!
Lid for my Kitchenaid - You know... the Stand Mixer Bowl Cover thingy that they charge $15+ for? Found it at the Goodwill, rubber banded to a bunch of other things, and without a price tag. I helped the manager find the stuff that the other parts belonged to, so he gave it to me for 29¢! Score!
The Ugly Chair - Walking out of the thrift store yesterday I found my dream chair. A big, comfy, sink into it with a book chair. No price, so I walked in telling myself that I wouldn't pay more than $25 for it. (The really ugly chair next to it was priced at $49.99, so I was pretty sure I was going home empty handed.) When she said "How about $4.99?" I am pretty sure I giggled like a schoolgirl.
The picture does not do the chartreuse justice (Traditional chartreuse, not web chartreuse, thankyouverymuch.)Even better than finding what I needed used is the big box of stuff ready for a yard sale or thrift store.

that chair isn't ugly! It's awesome!
I am so glad that I am not the only one to think so! Everyone here thinks that I am crazy.
I would leave that fabric on it if it weren't for the hole. I might just start looking for an iron on patch that matches, and be done with it. If not, I was thinking of picking up a bed spread and making a slip cover for it. I do love the chartreuse, though!
omg I have that same chair.
