I had to go and pick up our grocery order yesterday and go to the bank. On the way home I popped into the Thrift Store. Outside there were 2 shopping carts of freebie things so I had a mooch through them and this is what I got for nada, zilch, zero!
A very pretty china plate, two really delicate gold plated bone china teacups, a small gold plated finger bowl and a cute Christmas coffee cup. I could have came away with a lot more but I didn't need them. I will use all the above items.
I did purchase a couple of other items as I felt guilty just taking the freebie things. The best thing was a very large Pyrex storage jar with lid. I had read that the best way to keep strawberries fresh was to keep them in a glass jar so this was the perfect size for a 2lb punnet of strawberries.
I also got a piece of fabric to recover my husband's wheelchair cushion, 4 cup size Pyrex bowls and a little butter dish for a one quarter portion of butter. I spent $5 on these items and came away feeling so much better. Nothing like a bit of Thrift Store therapy!
I've heard that too and bought a couple of jars yesterday for that purpose. I wonder if it works for raspberries and blueberries too.
ReplyDeleteThe free china is lovely. xx
I can't see why not, it works wonderfully for the strawberries.
DeleteI'm going to try that strawberry tip as soon as mine ripen.
ReplyDeleteAfter using this pyrex jar for a couple of weeks now I can say absolutely that it keeps the strawberries fresh for a long time.
