I have decided to return to the blog world 
I am going to attach this blog to my new Facebook page named, Lifestyles Of The Not So Rich And Famous . I will be posting both here and on Facebook. I really hope you come by and ’Like’ me. I also have a FB page for my dairy goats, Glide’s Pride Oberhasli Dairy Goats . I look forward to share our fun adventures!
Why I LOVE Second Hand Shopping
Posted on February 17, 2010, under Food, Our Adventures.
My husband, children and I frequent second hand shops rather regularly. I would say we try to hit them once a week – If not.. it’s every other week. I find so many items that I have been looking for (and of course some that I didn’t know I was looking for..lol). I hardly ever have to buy jeans for my boys. I keep my eyes open and buy them next to new, used.
I wanted to share one of my recent experiences. Last summer, I came across a used Cuisinart ice cream maker. This one is the kind you freeze the bowl a head of time (atleast 24 hrs). Oh, let me tell you.. that was the BEST ice cream ever. I milk my own goats.. and the recipe is only three ingredients.. milk, sugar and vanilla. The only problem was.. this maker only made 1 qt of ice cream. Not very much for a large family. We each just got a taste.
Well.. guess what I found last week??? Yes, another ice cream maker. Different brand, never been used before. I plugged it to make sure it worked, etc. Yeah!! It is the same set up.. freeze the bowl a head of time. This coming summer, I will be making a half gallon per time. Each maker cost me $7.95. What a bargain!
