    Hi Folks,
    I was able to hit some sales today on an "all road sale" .
    This is what 2 bucks got me from 3 different sales. Wish my money always went so far.
    Got my wife 4 nice little planters for cactus and succulents. Got the daughter a cool viz art wall art(closest she is gonna get to a Chihuly) and an old extinguisher.
    Fun day out if nothing else.

    Nice. Funny thing is i've seen plenty of people over the years who would still have tried to get a discount on those crazy low prices.

    There was a lot of great stuff at 3 of the sales I stopped at. I finally had to just stop once my hands were filled up. There was actually quite a few more glass pieces , but I gave them to my Mom before I got pictures. The glass was almost all a quarter and the big banana boat was 50 cents. Just too hard to pass up.

    That is so cool. We should start a thread of what $2.00 can get you. I got this at an estate sale for $2.00 (1940s Ronson Crown Silver Plated Table Lighter) 069E744A-0046-4F77-BCDF-CAB8DC6C534C.jpeg but your find takes the cake View attachment 134849 !!!
