Bargains BARGAINS Bargains

Since we need to make a lot of purchases to set ourselves back up in a new country, I check Kijiji twice a day for sale items and yard sales. Here's what I've discovered.

• Lots of people think their used goods are very valuable and that you would like to pay $5 less than they paid for them 5 years ago new.  They are happy to show you their original receipt to help you realize that you are buying something that was actually expensive when purchased from a store.  These people are morons.
• Lots of people don't know how to spell.
• Lots of people don't know how to punctuate.
• Lots of people think the word 'antique' means 'old junk stored in my barn that I would like you to pay lots of money to purchase.'

I ignore all the ads from those people and snatch up the good deals, like an apartment-sized washing machine on wheels that we have calculated will pay for itself in 3 months now that we're using cloth diapers and 160 canning jars in a variety of sizes for free.

We put up our first quarts of applesauce in our jars last night.  Woo hoo!

I think the sliced rings are extra fancy.  Also, apple corer/peeler/slicer purchased for $1.
