Things I Didn’t Buy 11

I went to an estate sale that had some interesting containers and packaging. First up, a chocolate box from Salt Lake.

This meat chopper box was interesting

Here’s an old milk can opener.

Here are a few older product containers. I especially liked the Drano can.

This old coffee can was interesting.

I thought this nut cracker box was super cute.

And there was a large stack of Photoplay magazines.

Containers and T-shirts

Not all estate sales are equal. Sometimes you stumble upon awesomeness and sometimes not. Sometimes you feel like you got a great deal and sometimes not. The last estate sale I went to, I felt like things were overpriced (which was rather disappointing).

I found a three glass containers that I thought I could use, and also picked up a garlic press and hard-boiled egg slicer. Most of the items at the estate sale were unmarked, so when I went to checkout I found out how much it was going to be: $8. I had decided I didn’t want to spend more than $5. So I ended up getting just the glass containers for $5.

My friend also gave me some free T-shirts, which was nice of her. The last couple of times we’ve been shopping together, I’ve been looking for some shirts to wear at home. I’m not someone that wears T-shirts often, so I don’t have a stash of T-shirts that others may have (and I’m not buying brand-new shirts as loungewear). So I was glad to take these shirts of her hands.

Thrifted for $2.33

I went to a pay-by-the-pound Goodwill again, but this time I bought less than last time. I spent a total of $2.33. First I got this grease container. I actually haven’t ever saved my own grease, but it’s something I could do (if I every fried much bacon).

I also got a hanger (that’s missing a few red tips) because I thought it would be useful for organizing belts.

And I got a black slip and a white slip.

And a handkerchief.

Finally, a pillowcase I thought was pretty and super soft.

Cute Animal Wares

Every so often I’m a sucker for cute animal things. (I mean who doesn’t love an adorable little dog or cat?) While sometimes I would receive cute animal items as gifts, I admit that more often than not, it was me doing the purchasing; I would buy containers, toys and stationary merely because they were cute (and thus irresistible). Yet as the years pass, I’m less inclined to buy these cute animal items (as I do not have the room or need for them), but here are some cute animal wares I've accumulated over time:
