These trays didn't sell at my garge sale

Another surprise I thought would be snapped up, but no takers. Some people looked casually, some picked them up and tapped them for some reason, but no buyers.

 

Either to see what the material is, or to ward off evil. I suspect it was the first.

 

I'm surprised no one bought the Dogs tray. Dogs are always appealing.

 

Maybe they just didn't want to fork over $3.

 

Not their breed. Scotties are cute, but not flavor of the month.

 

I know that tip trays sell ok. The larger size ones like you have are nice tho.

 

I feel like I am living in an alternate reality bc none of my stuff is selling.

 

People are short on money now so it may be a while before sales start happening again.

 

I work in a mini supermarket, and a couple of people have told me that they think twice before buying anything now. Previously they would just go round the shop and think 'that looks good, I'll have that.......... and that.......and.......', but not now. Reality is beginning to bite, especially for those with growing families.

 

I think people should send a certain someone the bill for the extra cost of living.

 

I've seen folks in the grocery store , wandering around like in a daze. They have 1 , 2 , or 3 items......no cart , and they stand in front of the meat isle just looking , and looking and looking........
......& on occasion..... they look around ,more than looking at the meat...... before trying to stuff a steak down there pants......

 

...and suddenly it's a good time to be flexitarian. The local store than used to have a steak case is now stocking pork chops there.

 

Here pork chops are so tough that I can barely cut them, much less chew them. And I have all my teeth! We now eat mostly chicken, ground beef and eggs using lots of different recipes. Pork tenderloin when it's on sale. Hardly ever eat steaks.

My head came up at the checkout line when I heard the cashier say to the person in front of me, that will be $376. She had so much wine in her order!! So I didn't feel badly for her.

 

I don't drink. MS and alcohol aren't a wise mix. I'm going for chicken, pork, sausage etc most of the time now too. Haven't bought a steak since I set off the smoke alarm the last time. I did run the broiler tonight - Purdue breaded cutlet sandwiches. Slathered sweet relish underneath and topped with swiss cheese and cocktail sauce. It's essentially horseradish and ketchup and I knew it would taste good. It did.

 

When a small package if ground beef costs more than what my mom would spend to feed a family of 4 for a week 40 years ago, I look for alternative proteins.
