We have had the same pair as the ones you found for all 3 of our boys...as in one pair has lasted ALL of the boys and there are still no holes in them. I've looked them up on ebay and they are very pricey. I love vintage fisher price toys and legos are SOOO expensive. There was a bag at our thrift store the other day only half the size of the bag you found and it was still 9 dollars!

I love reading about all of your activities and thriftyness. I've also read all of your old posts and read your former blogs. I've copied several recipes from A Home With A Smile. I noticed in one of your posts that you bought bacon in bulk and divided it into several packages. I thought I would pass along a hint I learned from my neighbor several years ago. She taught me to freeze the slices on cookies sheets and put it in a freezer bag. I can take out just as many slices as I want to cook. Since we are empty nesters now that works for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-42222281262019540982015-06-07T13:21:23.205-05:002015-06-07T13:21:23.205-05:00Fantastic deals!

I know he put it together because he told me all of the pieces were in the box - it was a Star Wars ship.

The thing is... HE plays with them too, when he's here and if the kids have them out... He said its' something about digging through the box and searching for the right piece and he also said, the sound of digging in a box of Legos it's just fun to him.

My son donated his to our church for their mission down in Mexico years ago and has stated here and there that he wished he had them. So, The Dude and I bought him a box for his birthday back in April. I thought it weird to buy Legos for a 27 yo but realized that him sitting down and putting together Legos is much like me sitting down and mindlessly crocheting a granny blanket. Sometimes ya just need to chill.<br /><br />I love the Pottery Barn plates and would have paid more for them. I am having a difficult time with The Dude and his portions...we just recently found out he is Border Line Diabetic. We joke about how 'healthy' he was before becoming a part of the VA. <br /><br />Great deals all around. And a belated congrats on the new grandbaby. <br />blessings, jillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-92125017061745101992015-06-06T14:33:15.836-05:002015-06-06T14:33:15.836-05:00You found some great deals.
