$6.50

1 3 piece baby boy outfit (gift for Cyndi)
1 salad spinner
9 plastic Winnie the Pooh blocks for Caleb

Notes: The baby outfit was in perfect condition and super cute as well. It was also high quality material. It appeared that the seller had received it as a gift, but had a baby girl and did not use it. The salad spinner was lightweight plastic, but seems to work very well. I have needed one for some time. The blocks look well loved, but I sanitized them and ran them through the dishwasher. I think they are what are left of 2 five-block sets. I paid $.50 for the whole lot of them.

$.50

2 plastic flower pots
1 copy of The Joy of Cooking

Notes: The plastic pots were probably not worth more than the $.25 I paid for them – although they would cost more retail – however it is very hard to find plastic pots in stores and I had a need for extra plastic pots. The copy of The Joy of Cooking was a real bargain. The outside cover was pretty banged up, but the inside was in excellent condition with no writing on any of the pages. Additionally I made a perfect pie crust using their recipe and found that it has a lot of helpful cooking advice, not just recipes.
