My sisters wanted to go shopping at the liquidation center and called to see if I wanted to go with them. In the past, I have gotten some good deals, like an extendable battery operated chainsaw all that was missing was the can of oil, and a drill for drilling in corners. I went with them.

They had moved to a new building since the last time I went to their store. This one was an old fruit packinghouse and was now filled with useless, expensive things. It was a very bad sign when one of my sisters showed me a blanket. At the store it came from, it had a price of 70 dollars, the store had it on clearance for 35, and the liquidation center had a price of 50 dollars on it.

Window A/C units were dented, and they were 180.00, new at Walmart, they are 150 or less. They did have several weed eaters made by Craftsman, they were 35 dollars, I thought that would be a good price if they would have had a battery with it. Then there was a can of rust penetrating oil, like Blaster, for getting rusty bolts out. They wanted 20 dollars a can.

I know I do not get out much, but what has happened to the price of things? We stopped at one of my sister's favorite thrift stores, Goodwill. Me and the other sister never shop there, but the other one wanted to go to it. I like old bottles and buy them for 25 cents or up to a dollar if they are unusual. At Goodwill, they want 8 dollars for a bottle that is nothing special. I feel like I should not shop unless I am going to a yard sale.

When I got home, my husband was replacing the brake shoes on his truck. The wind has been blowing too hard for us to fish and is supposed to blow for a few more days.
