I went to a store today, mistakenly thinking it was where I bought butter for $1.50/lb. So, I was wrong.
But, in the meantime, I had not discovered my mistake. On a table were a lot of items and a sign about a scholarship fund. I donated. A pile of Beanie Babies caught my eye. One, a skunk named Stinky, really caught my eye. Well, some of my money stayed there and the BB came home with me. I checked the internet and found lots of listings for Stinky right HERE. And HERE.
Of course, anyone can advertise anything for any price. If they are still listed, they have not sold at any price. I wonder. Prices run from $4.99 to $19, 999. Mine has the Ty tag but not the little plastic tag protector. No, I did not buy Stinky to make my fortune. If I could sell this, I could share it with the scholarship fund.
I bought these occasionally when they were given away at McDonald's in the 90s. I never set my sights on any one BB. I gave one to my grandson later, a bull, I think. There are around ten Beanie Babies in storage. So, you can see I was not very interested, just mildly.
At one craft show, a guy had made animals out of socks, calling them Rice Runts. Did you ever see those? They were rudimentary, painted on faces, just cute.
The grocery ads came out today and are not so great, at least not for me and what I need and want. And, butter for $1.50/lb. was in Cullman. I have been watching for cherries to go on sale. That may not happen. Halos were $5.99, too high, but we buy a bag and eat one each day.
Every night, before I go to bed I think the coming day through, make a list of things I need to do. Otherwise, I awake to nothing to do in my mind. This morning is one of those days. I wonder where the list disappeared.
At my home there were cats in the neighborhood. They liked to hunt in my yard. It was nothing to see cats all day long, if not in my yard, then in other yards. When I first moved here, I kept asking Tommy where were the cats. I have wondered for two years. Well, I found out. My friend said there was a lady who killed cats. Actually, she said there were two but one moved. Sooo, now I know. What kind of person does that?
Did you ever buy Beanie Babies? How are grocery ads this week at your stores?
