Okay maybe some people call it dumpster diving, curb picking whatever you want to call it. My husband and I were hanging out in our present dwelling and he opens the front door and says "oooh honey look to your left do you see what I see?" I had no idea what he was talking about but in the neighbors yard in her trash pile at the curb was a nice comfy looking black recliner. We are hoping to get our own place soon, and we thought the chair would make a nice edition to our home. I told my husband go knock on her door and ask if we can take it....he was like "no way I don't do that." So I did. The lady was nice as could be, said we could take whatever we wanted from her piles, she was moving out. So I did just that and here is some of the her trash that became our "treasure"
Not pictured are some odds and ends like a curling iron, a hair straightener, and a set of clippers (the ones a man might use to cut his hair) I also snagged a couple candles and some broken jewelry to make new things from. I was thrilled, I felt like I got some retail therapy without having to spend any money.
Aunti L also helped look, she ended up with a brand new pair of old navy flip flops and we each scored some shirts for our sons. I was a happy camper. Judge if you must but I believe God used this opportunity to meet some of needs/wants.
And we were right we are getting our own place. We found a two bedroom duplex that will fit in our budget, and allow us to live within our means. It is alot smaller then what we had, but I am excited about making it work and I look forward to sharing pictures and updates as I make our home in a new place. (oh and hubby got a full time job that he started this past Thursday!!!!)
