Appliances. Trip 1.

Tons of Stuff...
Tons of Stuff…

The lines at West Seneca KMart were pretty much unreal last night! We only went shopping out of convenience..it was beside the grocery store, and we had just finished weekly grocery shopping. I told myself that I would only buy “one thing” for the apartment. I went in there, with all intentions of only buying, a pillow or toaster, but failed. Hard.

My trip totalled to $55.96. Which was a little bit over half of  my weekly pay from my part time job. The remainder of my paycheck will be drained into my gas tank. I’m also on a bit of a budget currently, because I’m going to Las Vegas at the end of the month to meet my boyfriend’s family and help him move furniture out of his apartment to his Mom’s condo, where he’ll be living for a month.

In total I bought.. 4 Toss Pillows - $23. Coffee maker - $20. Toaster - $9. Everything except the toaster was “on sale”.

Looks like there is more in the cart because my mom bought me a can opener ($14) and herself a new microwave, so I can have the old one. So I had to “clean the old one”, which I bought for her about 2 years ago. I bought the cheapest one, karma.

I brought out the SOS, Dawn, a dish sponge & lots of paper towels and got down to work at 9:30 last night. This thing has survived hundreds of bags of popcorn, many spills of ramen noodle, a lifetime of oozing hot pockets, and countless frozen dinners. Thirty minutes later, it still looks awful.

I’m saving myself possibly $40 to $60 though, which could be better used on possibly more pillows. Josh says he is bringing out his toaster oven. I’ve never used one but he claims they’re amazing, and it was from his Grandma, so he wants to keep it. Fine. : )

Everyone is being very helpful in collecting things. Looks like even my kitty wants to help.

There’s an estate sale todaynear my work. I may go check it out, or see if my Dad wants to check it out with me. I’m tight on cash, but it looks like they have dressers & miscellaneous necessities.
