Pantry supplies.  Had a $5 coupon off $25 purchase.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

A #$@*&%$ 4 cycle gas trimmer. :GA:

First trimmer I've bought in over 10+ years.

Usually I pick them up all the time, but this year when mine started it's death rattle after 6+ years of abuse there hasn't been one salvageable one to be found. 

I predict that on the next 3 trash days I will find one...or 2...or three of the little fuckers.  :autism:

I never used to buy  them either but with the over abundance of scrappers around the last few years they have been harder and harder to find. They take everything a lot of which could still be used and scrap it i find it kinda sad . Currently I am using a broken electric one and have to cut and knot the line every time it breaks

Same here, pickings are slim...some of the stuff I see them taking to the yard they could flip for double+ what they're getting with a little effort if they wanted to.  Most don't care though, it's faster to scrap it. :(

A new windshield for my car, which is great timing given the pay cuts from furloughs and the fact my car is due for inspection.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
