Chevy I seem to be following you around!
I guess more people are relying on GW and other places like it now with the economy. I just found out last night that one of my neighbor families, both the husband and wife will be laid off by the local college in April. Yikes. I don't know what will happen. They have 2 young children, and she's already a TS shopper. I hope they don't move away, she's my partner in craft!

Our TS is connected with L.A. Rescue Mission & it is not nearly as busy lately as jeans are now$6.99. Still good buys to be had as they use letters on each item under price o,y,b, etc.,I think 1 for each day of week & after about a week item is marked 1/2 price. A cassette of Louis Prima & Keely Smith singing songs like "That Old Black Magic" & "Up the Lazy River" sounded pretty good for 29cents & with discount they sold it to me for 19 cents. 4 lb. bag of colored round marbles & flat clear marbles & larger clear thicker "rocks"(great for fridge magnets with pretty pic behind them)with discount $1.11 Their magazines are 19 & 49 cents including craft ones like "Decorating T shirts" or even Sunset garden books. Hard Cover are $1.99 & some cookbooks they are charging several dollars for so must have noticed them sell fast. More folks cooking at home. No line at bookstore yesterday, Wal- Mart (there had been line earlier tho)short wait at Joanne's. So stores aren't doing too great- beautiful day & parking was easy, close to doors. Nothing improving here that I can tell. Jan
