Like the red glass vase that Hubby liked. Attractive, but of no particular pedigree; $30.00. Or the Farberware percolator. The new, cheap, made in China one: $50.00 The Rescue Mission thrift store is much more reasonable. I overheard a woman saying "No, mark it 3 dollars so you can bargain down to two."<br />Got more free junk at Harbor Freight this weekend too--including a replacement for the multi-tester that I broke within seconds of opening the package!veg-o-matichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063037378554820697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736209304130286623.post-18963252716571184332014-04-12T05:57:43.350-04:002014-04-12T05:57:43.350-04:00Yeah, I have a couple thrifts in my area that pric...Yeah, I have a couple thrifts in my area that price like they're antique stores. One even (sometimes) puts eBay price comparisons on their price tags. And I think, yeah but you got it donated free! (Which they do, they're not a buy-inventory place.) Then their are a couple that practically give stuff away. My husband loves Harbor Freight Tools! Thank you so much for sharing this at History & Home this week.
