...can be cost-saving. ME? Today, when I'm done typing this, I'll go downstairs to the Wunderground Second-hand Store in the basement of the Senior Center. May stuff a bag full of men's clothes. Go through the pants... On Sunday I stuffed a bag full of books. 40 books worth over $581. 29 of them dealing with poetry worth over $386. I'd say I did well. However, I need book shelves. Plus, it's time to cull some books and take to the library free-cycle. Same with underwear. I had 4 pair set aside that I added to my rotation; but, overall there are 2 or 3 that need to be cut into rags. In with the slightly used; out with the worn and weary. Before I went traveling I started to go through boxes of "who-knows-what". Need to start again. Other things need to go as well. Most of my "life" is second hand. I acquired a double mattress over a week ago and it's working out fine. And I never did get the rooms rearranged to my satisfaction after sub-letting to a friend. That was back in 2012. So, call me a bag man all you want. It's cheaper than WalMart. And saving allows me to travel. 42,966 |
