Garage Sale-ing Anyone?

     Yesterday I went garage sale-ing for the first time this year.  Apart from sitting on my derriere :-), it's one of my favorite pastimes.
     I wasn't looking for anything specific, and  had no specific destination in mind.  I just love finding bargains.  I'd drive until I'd see a sign for a garage sale, then meander my way there.  I wound up going to 5, and I think my money was well spent, but time will tell.
     I'm an avid reader, so the 8 paperbacks that I bought for .25 each was a deal, especially when you consider that the average novel is at least $8.  I got a hot/cold, one quart thermos for $1.50, half price from its original $3 (I guess there's something to said for going late in the day.)  Works great too, - I tempered it last night.  I also picked up some earrings, and a dvd.
     My biggest, (most daring) purchase was a Revere pressure cooker which I paid $20 for.  It looks unused, like brand new.  The elderly gentlemen that I bought it from says it was used twice, and that it usually retails for $99.  I can neither confirm nor deny this, since I was only able to find my particular brand/model once online, and it was priced @ $60. It also came with 2 cookbooks.  I can't wait to get cooking!  Hopefully I didn't go off half-cocked on a fool's mission.  Right now I don't know if I was a fool, or just foolhardy. LOL!  Guess I'll find out soon enough..  Wish me luck....
