Today I went Rummage Sale-ing with Mandy for furniture for the new house (bastards keep delaying the closing, but hopefully Monday means she will be the official owner!) - oh, by the way, if I haven't mentioned it, I might be moving again soonish to a house closer to campus. ;)
Anyway, I found a *really* nice bed frame for $10, a mattress for $20, and a book shelf/case for $5, as well as a little wall-mounted shelf thingy that I can put on the wall under the mirror set I picked up a few weeks ago for $2. So, basically, I've furnished my entire room already for 40 bucks (not counting the $20 I spent on my current book shelf when I first moved in here, and the $50 I spent on a nice lamp at about the same time). Must love rummage sales.
Still need maybe one more book shelf and a dresser, but the parents have already said I am welcome to snatch one of the many dressers hanging around unused at their house. Book shelf/case/whatever isn't a big thing anymore since I have two after today's find. Also, the really nice wood bed frame I mentioned earlier? Totally has a book shelf built into the headboard! Schweet!
Mandy found a rocking chair and some other odds and ends, and we ended up coming back home with a rather large van load of stuff, so wohoo, go us and our leet rummaging skillzz.
Then I came back to the house, ate lunch, and went and got groceries, where I spent 26 bucks. Damned munchies get me every time.
On an entirely different note, EUREKA TUESDAY! So much YAY! Their neighborly commercial is awesome.
