Ungodly cold here today! -12 when I got to my computer at 8 am, never got above 2 degrees and temp is dropping again. Winds were over 40 mph, giving us windchill temps of close to -50! Just going from the house to the car, about 20 yards was enough to freeze you. Supposded to moderate a bit tomorrow with temps in the 20s and then a big snowstorm on Monday. Stopped at a small thrift store that I do not go to often because they are only open 2 days a week, and 30 miles from here, but were in that area on Thursday and stopped. A Tupperware rep had donated all of her brand new unused pieces that she used for display at parties. I got about a dozen sets for $15.25. I believe they will sell on Ebay for a bit over $250. Then on Friday we stopped at a church thrift that we rarely go to except in the summer as they are only open Friday and Saturday. I bought 36 like new Guideposts Hardcover Christian mysteries for 50 cents each. I normally get about $7 a book in lots when I sell these so again expecting to sell my $18 worth of books for about $250. Best week I have had in a long time. And today, it was an estate sale. Disappointed at what was there, but I did get a wool Orvis jacket for $5 and a vintage Holly Hobbie doll for $3, so may make $100 profit on those. Slim pickings in the winter usually, but I do have plenty of inventory, heck, books alone, I have over 300 still to list.
