| | Cheap thrill for us this week has been when my oldest son brought us a used garbage disposal.He is a plumber and had to take it out of a business.They were required by state to put in a grease trap so the disposal had to go,,its still very new.It is so strong I bet I bet I could put rocks down it and come up with sand!LOL..(Although I would never do that!) LOL!! He was told to throw it away,,but being frugal, he re- used it on our home! Works so nice too! |

| I forgot to post a cheap thrill that happened last weekend when I went shopping with my mom.
My 1 pair of black work shoes had a hole in the toe - so I went to Payless to look for new ones. They had a pair for $5!!! So, I snagged them up. They fit perfectly.

| I not sure if this is a cheap thrill or not I found a dog at the grocery store it is a small ugly I brought it home and our vet checked the mirco chip he called the vet .. her owner came and got here today her fromer boyfriend had stole the dog from her home in south Ga and he dropped her in the parking lot . .
she insisted on paying the reward of $500 .. I wanted to give it to food bank Frank suggest buy something for my self ..

| Very thoughtful of you to pick this little pooch up Gayla, otherwise goodness knows what would've become of it.
I'm sure the lady is immensely grateful.
If it makes you feel better, why don't you split the difference by giving some to the foodbank and treating yourself too.
