I just wanted to thank you for all your great finds, and in making us all "Millionaires". My Grandpa was like that, always shopping thrift, used, recycled. He passed away about 5 years ago, and left my father with more money than we ever imagined. I believe how he lived his life is a lesson for me. He enjoyed what he wanted, did what he wanted, but never overdid, and always saved. He lived a life he was happy with!
Thanks for your comment, Melinda and you are welcome. :)
