A trip into Livingston specifically to visit thrift shops–looking for a rolling suitcase. First stop: Habitat for Humanity. As always, I was warmly greeted at the counter (they know me because of my donations, and previous volunteering). I told the clerk what I was looking for and a second lady disappeared…, and returned with the two (yes, two) for $20.00. Nested inside is a second somewhat smaller suitcase. I don’t “need” two… but “the price was right.” It wasn’t planned but my KIA headed to Dollar Tree where I spent $51.00 on “small stuff” for cruise. Sure, I could (can) put shampoo, etc., in smaller containers but the small product containers are “cute.” I bought two of everything so I can prepare a gift bag for my friend who grasiously invited me to join her on this cruise.
