I begged them to stop

I bought him a 700 dollar grill last father's day...so I could get him to toss out the homeless ones....we still have three....just in case, we have to cook for 400 hundred.

He also used to buy phones at yard sales. Tried an explaination there too...sweetie, WHO, sells a phone for no reason? Useless. One he brought home the number 6 didn't work....you were ok as long as whoever you were calling didn't have a #6 digit in the phone number

Another....you'd dial...say 420-8729....someone answer...wrong number, what number were you calling...you'd tell them and they'd say...you've reach 678-9378....nothing even close to the number you'd dialed....got so I just say...forget it and hang up

Now that is funny I would keep your hubby away from garage sales!

LOL

Too funny!!!!
We have a grill graveyard here too.
Whenever we get a new one, the old one finds it's place on the side of the house. Just incase we have a few hundred people show up.LOL
At least when we BBQ, the food is good. My husband is the cook!

I'll tell you something....this woman left an estate in access of 1 million...I'm not kidding. If we asked her for money, she'd give it to us...but if it were a gift, you'd dang sure had better picked it out yourself....

Cleaning time!!!!

My mom gets home from work at midnight. Well, she drives up and starts honking the horn. I go outside, and to my AMAZEMENT, there's a huge @ss dog crate hanging out of her trunk. It literally looked like it can fit 2 Saint Bernards. It's filthy, covered in mud, etc.. I asked her 'Where in the world did you get this?' She told me "Oh, I was just shopping around in the neighbor's trash." I asked her who was going to use the crate since, they have 2 little dogs and my sister's pit would get lost in there, and she said "Oh, it's going to be Torch's (miniature pinscher) condo during the summertime."

Oh, how I love my parents!

Those people having the sale are dang glad he showed UP....he actually paid them for their broken junk

Bought home what I believe was a genuine, first edition, 1937, Hoover vacuum....told me oh I got it for the upstairs...that thing committed suicide....it caught on fire

Another cost saving purchase by hubby...

I didn't say we got NEW ones....we'd get the ones someone else had thrown out....

Remember Sanford and Son...that's who I married Sanford

Sssssh, I'll tell you something....sometimes I've thrown away his treasures...he's never even missed them

Couldn't do it with the grills, those were his babies

Speaking of scavengers... MY DAD,, when I lived in the apartment above his business, I would take things to the dumpster, thee next day I'd go in,, there it would be.. no matter what, broken fan, chair, whatever, so from then on I just started putting stuff at the bottom of the stairs FOR him, why carry it to the dumpster.. his fav. line " Nothing wrong with that."
Just bought him a Sanford and Son tshirt online, he tapes those shows, and was getting the Entire series' in the mail, I'm saving it for Fathers Day, It says " You Big Dummy" He'll love it.

I'm trying to finish the work I didn't do last night, so I'm not on much today. But you guys are killing me. Here is my story:
We had a mirror in our living room forever and after we redecorated it didn't go any longer. I threw it out. My friend JoAnne stopped and I was outside. She couldn't believe I was throwing out a perfectly good mirror.. I told her she could have it, there was nothing wrong with it, I just didn't think it matched my living room anymore. Well, fast forward about 5 years, hubby comes in from a garage sale: Hey, Joanne and Ginny were having a garage sale, look at this mirror I BOUGHT. Yup! He bought the mirror I threw out 5 years ago. Funny thing is, it matches again, new paint job and living room furniture! So, it hangs proudly on the wall and is a great conversation piece.

Hope they gave him a deal on it.

Joanne didn't even remember that she got it from me in the first place! We still laugh about it. Whatever he paid it was too much, I GAVE it to her.
