I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Happy (early) Valentine's Day or something
I stopped at Food Lion today with my son. I normally don't take him grocery shopping but I wanted to run in and get a few things. Of course all the Valentine's cakes and cookies were all in full view on a big display right when you walked in the store. He wanted a Valentine's cake, and since I am such a pushover, I couldn't say no. At least they were on sale for $4.99 (he won't eat a cake that I make, only store bought cakes). I asked the person working the bakery counter to write Happy Valentine's Day on it. This is what I got (pictured above). Maybe by Thursday they'll get it right.
While at Food Lion, I bought a bunch more of the Banquet TV dinners (on sale for .88 each). On the package, there is a coupon for a free game of bowling. Well some of the tv dinners did - not all the varieties had the coupon.
Yesterday was a good day too. I found another thing I thought I had lost. It was a replacement credit card for one that is expiring at the end of the month. I knew it came in the mail but hadn't activated it and didn't know where it was. I'm glad I found it.
Haven't found my dog's rabies vaccination certificate yet but the local SPCA did return my call (but I wasn't home). They're the ones who administered the shot he had back in the fall. I called them to see if I could get a copy of the certificate. So I'll call them back tomorrow and see what they say. If I can't, I'll just keep looking for the certificate. I know its around here somewhere.
Holy crap! AHhaha!!
