oh, I was soooo excited about this one. It's one of those huge Tupperware bowls that my mom uses to make big batches of caramel corn, salads, etc. I've always wanted one. It's like brand new and the lady said, oh, how about 25 cents? It took everything in me to contain my excitement, hand her the quarter, walk to my car and then scream with delight!

A bike for my little 4 year old boy for Christmas: $4 (I can't post a pic because I don't want him to see it)

Melissa, how are you going to pay for all of this? Isn't your husband in grad school and you're supposed to be all poor?

Yes. BUT, I found these 3 ornaments at one of the sales from the 1970's in their box. Just sold on Ebay for $18, $15, and $5.

Total spent at the sales: $19.50

Total made (after fees) on Ebay: approx. $32

Money left over to spend next week: $12.50

It's just a way I justify my little shopping habit.

I'll show you my plans with some of these later. Have a great weekend!
