Kind of for fun...but I love thrift stores...today I found a brand new-still in the box George Foreman grill with changeable plates ($140 on Amazon) for $18.

However I must admit I am unable to go to a store and not buy toilet paper. I must have a hidden fear of running out because I literally have no less than 20 rolls at a time (shh-right now it is like 50).

Anyone else have a secret shopping obsession?

1...I have a gazillion George Foreman recipes !

Mine burned out about a year ago, and WOW ! Would I love to find one for 18$ !

2...My secret shopping weakness is scented soaps . I almost never use them, but they make my bath and bedroom smell good

Oh Dancing! Recipes for the foreman...I never would have thought! I am probably one of the few people that doesn't do Pintrest because I'm sure there are 4.1 million pins for that!

My addiction is so bad...our Goodwill thrift store gets salvage stuff from Target so today I got a 24 pack of quadruple rolls of Charmin for $8.99 and a small pack for $2.29.

I could NOT leave them!

I'll buy ANYTHING from the 1800's. I either keep it if I like it a lot, or sell it on ebay. And yes, I find this stuff in thrift shops. I could live in a thrift shop...or better yet own one!

I love the fact I'm not the only one! I have so many little collections. Books. Especially crochet and knitting and true crime...and anything else that catches me eye. Plus anything dachshund and chihuahua and hippos. Good Lord. Don't get me started about craft stuff.

At least I can stay home and craft and read and poop and pee in confidence!

Richard...I have a copy of Wash. Square. Shall I send it to you?
I cannot locate a 2ndhand bookstore here. I love those places. I've gotten some really great books. There's one in Peekskill called "The Bruised Apple". It's in the art district...check it out.

I love the thrift shops too. I can spend hours in a good one. I really only spend a lot in them when on an upswing otherwise I am terrified to spend money. Spending money stresses the heck out of me.

The one thing I probably have well over 100 of are.....wait for it...............................

PEZ dispensers...lol. They make me smile and are only 1.29 a piece.
