Guess which shopping hating, tight wadded Putnamanic got the BEST deal of the day today in the Putnam Habitat ReStore????
That's right. It was me!
The ReStore was loaded with all sorts of donations this weekend - cabinets, dishwashers, end tables, tvs, lights, and so much more.
At the end of the day I spotted a cute little music system, with AM/FM radio and a cassette player (yes... I still have some of my old cassette tapes that I have had for years, and just can't part with them), and 2 nice speakers.... for $5.
A customer was in the store and spotted this beauty when I was hooking it up and testing it. He seemed interested, so of course I would have let him have it. I didn't really need it, just wanted to have an addition for my porch. As it turns out, he chose another small radio alarm clock, so I got the big score! I even paid twice the asking price, figuring $10 was still a great deal, and the money goes to a good cause - to build the home that is our current project in Brooklyn, CT.
Support local organizations in your town. Every little bit helps.
I am a Putnamaniac because even non-shoppers can enjoy shopping and helping out a good cause!
