Flipping thrift store items

Dalene Shapiro @Rondout50 (252) • Kingston, New York 19 Jan 16

We have a local thrift store/food pantry that gets the best donations of items! Designer bags, which need a close inspection, really nice bakeware and dishes. I personally have enough at home but like to look for a treasure just...

DudeBaker @infatuatedbby If you're talking about Goodwill or Salvation Army, there isn't really any 'rules' to tell them how to price things. Some stores have more savvy pricing personnel, and those are the stores where you'll find the higher prices. It really comes...

DudeBaker @Rondout50 exactly. The reward has to be worth the effort. Once it becomes a 'job,' it isn't fun any more. Life is meant to be enjoyed, why do something that you don't enjoy?

DudeBaker I've found a few stills for sale online, but none of them seem to be quite right for making essential oil extracts. Looking strictly at new items (no used), it looks like I'll have to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 to get everything I need.

Gas in Michigan is only 78 cents a gallon! Whoa!!!

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94914) • United States 18 Jan 16

Throughout 10 years of driving, I don't ever recall seeing gas less than $2, let alone less than $1! In Michigan, it's 78 cents a gallon! There is actually a record low of 47 cents at a station in Houghton. With gas being this...

DudeBaker @infatuatedbby Michigan is surrounded by massive lakes, why go to North central Michigan to see a smaller lake? But you're right, there are good reasons to visit. I used to live in Western Michigan. If you're an outdoors-person, there is quite a lot to do...
