It's no secret that we love thrift store shopping. And we are lucky to have a great "Am-Vets" thrift store about 15 minutes away that we LOVE going poking around on the weekends. It's not open Sunday, so we have to sacrifice our post-biking nap to go, but some days, it's totally worth it. Steve and I both have found great clothes for really cheap, random knick-knacks, knitting needles, and my favorite - a "warming tray." (Side story: we had an Xmas party and my aunt suggested that if I wanted to keep the hot appetizers warm, i would need this weird thing called a warming tray that is basically a tray with a plug that, duh, keeps things warm. I asked where i could find one these elusive species, and she suggested garage sales. Ask and ye shall receive. I said, hmmm. i wonder if AmVets has it. And there it was - for $2.95. Same thing happened a few weeks later when i needed a mini-muffin pan. There it was - for $1.)
Anyway - so YESTERDAY, they had all bike 50% off. Now, Steve has never found anything in the bike pile before, but behold - the bike that was $2.98. Yup. $3.
But here's the real reason he bought a bike with no seat that was all rusted. A pretty cool find.
So the plan is to load the bike with all the parts that Steve has sitting around in the garage that he needs to sell ANYWAY, and sell it on craigslist for about $100.
Pretty darn cool. and yes, currently, that brings our bike total to 11.
Yes. We go to 11.
