Go in for a coffee grinder...
Leave with something else entirely.
The last time I went to my favorite little thrift store shop, it was a rainy day. Today, as the gray clouds had just begun to release their smallest of droplets, I just happened to be in the neighborhood of the shop and I could feel a gravitational pull. Baby was sound asleep. Daughter had just awoken from her nap in the car. So we went for it. I was hoping to find a coffee grinder or maybe even a high chair in good shape. But I came out with a few like new name brand clothes for myself, Hannah, and even James, a cute sunflower headband for Hannah to brighten up the gloomy day.
You never know what you will find. But I found a bargain today. I struck gold. This might sound weird or gross if you are not a mom of a baby, but I found a fancy brand name duel electric/battery powered breast pump for $4.99! I KNOW! I was so excited. So of course I bought it. I'm not even sure if my baby would take a bottle, but with this pump I just may try it. I have a hand pump that is terrible so I've very little milk in my freezer, but with this thing I can stock up. Heck, I could donate. Or I could sell it* on craigslist and make a little profit. he he.
Thrift stores and rainy days. I don't know why, but they just go together.
*sell the pump, that is, not the milk. Just to be clear.

Woo hoo...good find indeed!
just boil the heck out of those pump pieces and you're good to go!
it's been years since i've struck any gold at a thrift store. :( but it feels so great when you find something you really like. almost like you're treasure hunting!
Wow! You saved over $200! I was also going to say to boil the pump pieces.
I need to start pumping more! Nathaniel and I have to go to his office party this Friday. So I am leaving the baby with a sitter for the first time. AHH!! And after that night, I am going to be really low on frozen milk. I'll have to start stocking up again.
