The University in town (which shall remain nameless) is beginning classes. Many people are vacating their apartments. The dumpsters are virtually overflowing, and we dumpster divers are having a field day! To date we have carted home about 5 carloads of stuff- lamps, kitchen ware, perfect clothes, canned and other edible foods, computers, CDs ( we will sell them to a CD exchange store), etc, etc. And most of it will stock our rummage sale this week-end. It's been great. There are many divers working the area, and there is plenty of stuff for everyone. Update: Had a rummage sale with all of this stuff and made over $400!!
Diet food BONANZA!- Cans of soup, dried soup, snacks, pasta
mix, must be at least 50 cinnamon-raisan bars (Hubby thinks they're icky)-
total of almost 4 boxes of slightly outdated stuff. Guess I'll be
going on a diet without trying.
60 unopened cans of Planter's Peanuts, plain and honey roasted.
At the store they run about $2.75 per can. That's about $175.00.
Peanuts for everybody; our parrots, the neighborhood squirrels, and the
hubby. I can't stand peanuts.
