Deja Vue . . .One week later. . . . . .

Tuesday was the library $3.00 per bag sale and I went....again! If you missed last week's post on my calendar- challenged mishap, see this. We waited in line in the hot Florida sunshine, for about 20 minutes before the doors opened and the book-loving cheapskates bargain hunters descended like locusts upon the myriad of boxes full to the brim with books.

My plan was to hone right in to the mystery section and pick up a few new cozies. Hubby went in the same direction and picked up anything that looked like spy, navy related, conspiracy type books. After 40 minutes, we had had enough! Very unusual for us, but today was quick scan, grab and proceed to checkout. Our foraging netted us 68 books for the vast sum of $9.00. That worked out to just 13 1/4 cents per book. Not a bad deal at all! It will be interesting to see how much the county made on the 5 day sale. Last year, I think the total was a little over $42,000.00 and the best part is that all proceeds are used to purchase more materials for the library.
