unexpectedly turned out to be the last cuuh-hunting day of the year. The gorgeous weather was so typical of 2011 Fridays...
spent $37.45
went to 2 thrift stores in Longmont today
- softcover, Mixed Media--99cents
- Stanley 24 oz wide mouth SS thermos--1.99
- hardcover, Painting Skies (how-to)--1.49
- hardcover, how-to book about various papercrafts--99 cents
- vintage pressing cloth (unused)--49 cents
*We left the bag with these items in the van, so I substituted a quick sketch for the photo*
- 12 volt immersion heater--50 cents
- bundle of (10?) soda (very long handled) spoons--1
- 3 blender gaskets--25 cents
*we also left this in the van, so a pic of a similar one grabbed from the web*
- butane powered tabletop burner in carrying case (ours is black)--15
- ">GE double wall oven, top one is self-cleaning--12.75
This set of ovens is probably about 20-25 years old and they appear to have been hardly used. The bottom oven looks like it has never been used, as the shelves and burners have no heat discoloration on them at all. The top oven looks very lightly used. They were built into a cabinet which had a drawer at the bottom containing 2 never-used broiler pans. Marked $15, and we got a 15% senior discount off of that. What an incredible deal, and although we haven't tried them yet I am betting they work just fine. And while I don't have an immediate use for them (just got 'em), I just couldn't pass up the deal, which allows us to finish off the year with some "True Cuuh," ie cheap, useless or useful, and heavy...
Looking forward to some great cuuh hunts in 2012--the blog will be here
