Goodwill goodies.

I haven't been to Goodwill in a couple of weeks! Seriously! I wanted to go when hubby was on vacation, but we ran out of time. I was beginning to have withdrawals! Mercedes & I planned a trip on Wednesday, 1/2 off day. But when I got there, I learned 1/2 off day was only the 3rd Wednesday of the month. I missed it by one week. Pfft. In we went anyway.







(I'm telling you, it's a sad day when one goes to Goodwill & gets miffed it's not 1/2 off day. Heehee.)

When I first became a thrifter (is that like, a drifter? Thrifter drifter?), I didn't buy toys. But, I've discovered along the way that if she finds a toy that holds her interest & keeps her busy, I can browse a little longer. ;o) Mercedes spotted the Hello Kitty cassette player & would not put it down. I noticed the battery cover was missing. I kept trying to explain to her that it more than likely wouldn't work once we got it home. I put it back two different times & attempted to persuade her with other toys. She wasn't having it. She was so persistent - finally I decided just to buy the darn thing. Low & behold, it works! I had to put tape over the battery compartment & let me say, she has not put that cassette player down since bringing it home. Best $2.95 I've ever spent. Was a tad challenging to find a cassette for kids around these parts. :) I typically don't buy items like the George Forman grill either. Ew. But, I spotted this puppy & it's like brand spankin' new! Not sure what to do with it, but I'll figure it out! Maybe.



Happy weekend! Ü
