Today while driving home from church with Rich, my pastor, we came across this sign, "Gigantuous Garage Sale." We weren't sure what to think of it, and curiosity got the best of us, so we ventured inside the warehouse-type facility. It was a dream for a broke college student. The Valparaiso firefighters in the area had organized a community garage sale fundraiser where you could find almost anything, dinosaur computers, microwaves, kitchen tables and chairs, file cabinets, books, TV's, and a host of trinkets. Unfortunately, we walked in on the tail end of the weekend sale and the selection had already been well picked over. But still, I wagered to Rich that I could furnish an entire house for under $100.
Under my circumstances, I didn't need furnature, but I did pick up a vintage green American Tourister suitcase for 25 cents. What a steal! That will come in handy when I make the move back to Washington State in mid December. Oh, and there was a bonus; I even found a deodorant stick cap inside. Not sure how I'm going to use that, but I'm sure it will come in handy sometime in the future.
