    Brad - you really know where to shop AND you're the best shopper ever. That Manhattan glassware is great - I love that pattern too. The double sided bar glasses are amazing - $3 for all of them?!?
    The chair is awesome - is it ribbed? For $30? It's really hard to find a nice over stuffed chair around here.

    Thanks! The thrifts here are quite productive and I hit them regularly. We have a very mobile community here and they don't care one bit about old stuff. Makes for a good buying situation but not as great for selling.

    The glasses were $3.00 for all. The chair has corded ribbing on the sides and back. Someone really did a nice job. I don't usually mess with upholstered goods but couldn't pass this one by.

    And if the chair doesn't move, in front of the TV it goes! Today's find was cheap boneless sirloin and free ground turkey. The store had a package marked down to 99 cents (usually $6 for this variety) to get rid of it fast. I had a coupon. It doubled. No thrifts today. Did that yesterday; a jar from the Ill Will followed me home at half price.

    Brad, I LOVE that chair!!!!! I love getting all kinds of bargains, too, Evelyb....the treasure-hunting is in all areas....I used to laugh at my dad getting excited over grocery store sales, who knew I would be doing the same thing. I love using coupons at department stores and dining out places the most. The husband calls me Sally Shopper. :)

    We've also managed to find a snowstorm for Thursday. I'd rather be out hunting, but a day off isn't a bad thing, right?
