Anyway...it was cold...I froze all morning, even wrapped in a blanket. I sold $22 worth of my stuff....and I only spent $7.80 or around there, so I felt good about the morning.
Here is a photo of some of the things I bought:
Cutting coupons used to be a big ordeal. You'd drive to the store, buy a paper, drive home, cut the coupons and then wash your hands to remove the black newspaper ink. It took all morning.
