Yip - you guessed it -- she found the Rowenta that she'd been drooling over ----for $5.99!!!!!!!!! Some people just have all the luck!
I picked up my Rowenta at the second hand store too! 4.95; I love that thing! My sweet husband always pulls into the thrift store if I ask; he knows I'm Cheap cheap. Same with the pawn shop... I picked up a $700 Carbondale bike for 35.00. Fell in love with a diamond enternity ring there... he surprised me with it for a wedding ring, he paid half what retail is... funny thing, he never went into a pawn shop before he met me; he was amazed they had so much stuff! Now if only I could get him to dumpster dive with me! LOL
