Sooner or later you will want or need to remodel your bathroom or your kitchen or perhaps finish off that basement. Plan ahead. Thrift shops.

Summer sales begin to heat up towards the end of the season, but July and August are noted for bring the best time to hunt for deals on furniture and laptops.

Step platform with 2 steps – purchased at a garage sale for $2. I really can’t do yoga on my carpets without sliding out of control! 3 sets of hand weights – a velcro strap on set of 1 pounders; a set of 8 pounders and a set of 10 pounders – purchased new about 20 years ago – sorry I don’t remember what I spent.
