Summary: I thought opening day was a success, but this weekend's driveway deals did not disappoint. The stash:

The tally:

• Pot for putting compost in ($1)
• 50 foot outdoor extension cord ($3)
• Candle ($0.50)
• Fishing rod ($8)
• Cast iron frying pan ($2)
• Purple striped shirt ($0.25)
• Yellow Marmot jacket ($5)
• Shoes ($1) - FYI, they are NOT trimmed in pink. It's coral. Duh.
• Drink mixer ($1)

Total: $21.75

Husband Tolerance Alert Level: Low
While The Husband often complains about the temptations wrought by the copious amounts of low-cost items available for purchase on Saturday mornings within a convenient geographic area, this hasn't stopped him from handing me his own wish list of articles to be on the lookout for. Just for the record, his list includes a coil binding machine. And HE'S the one afraid of what I might bring home?

This week The Husband had a very successful shopping day by proxy - the fishing rod, cast iron skillet, and extension cord were all items on his wish list, and the drink shaker - well, let's just say we can both benefit from its use.

The Husband was then promptly reminded about the one-item-in-one-item-out policy that he instituted for this year's Garage Sailing season.
