Hi Kathy C.

Thank you for your kind comment and like I always say that if you can't share a little forum space with a friend then what is the point in having a forum, or for that matter , a friend - God Bless Kathy!

My sister is one of those...she once bought 50 picture frames at an estate sale because they were only 25 cents each.  Some of the frames still had wedding photo's of several generations of a very weird looking family.  I guess whoever cleaned out the house of Munster didn't wanna keep the pictures. 

Hello Nick, And . . . ? What's your point? LOL! Kindest regards, Luella May and John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood

 Hi Kathleen

Hey, a sale is a sale. I remember watching a program where a woman bought some old pictures and found some collectibles that were hidden behind the originals. She paid about $25 and they were worth $12,000, now that is a deal eh!

Nick, isn't there a difference between shopping and buying?  I guess it depends on attitude and/or money available.  Some people get kicks out of shopping even if they have no money to spend.  Others go into a store to buy only when they know what they want.

Here's an example of impulse buying.  I went into a J. C. Penny store to get some brown over-the-calf socks.  I found some.  Then I headed to one of the cashier spots to do what one does at a cashier spot, pay.  On the way, I saw some radio-controlled cars for half price.  A big sign said, "50% off."  I went to the cashier and requested a price check.  She said, "sixty dollars."  I told her about the sign and asked her to come with me.  We went to the table with all the boxes of racers.  Sure enough, $30 cars were going for $14.99, according to the sign.  The cars were all alike.  She said, "OK, you can have it for $14.99."  I have no idea about te $60 price; neither did she.

What am I going to do with the car?  What do you think?  I'm going to play with it.  I might even let my grandsons run it.
