Five Minute Friday :: Sale

$5 plants for sake
Five Minute Friday :: Sale linkup at Andrew's Place. Andrew hosting while Kate heals has been such fun, especially with Sylvia joining in!


For Sale. Not for Sale. There's the basic you can purchase this item or this service because it's for sale on the retail market; then there's you can get it at a lower price because it's not only for sale—it's on sale.

What are my favorite things for sale and on sale?

I love to shop. Any kind of retail therapy! I love thrift stores. I especially love yard sales / garage sales, though recent ones haven't been as enticing as they were in the BCE (Before Covid Era) olden days. I usually say "yard sale" and I've read about tag sales, but I've never called them that. The terminology must be regional.My plants header is from our church yard sale three years ago in October 2022. For some reason, churches usually talk about their rummage sales. What's rummage? Is it what you find when you're rummaging around?

I enjoy eBay, where I've bought a whole lot of books and a lot of clothes. I often wonder if I'd have discovered it if my cousin hadn't introduced me to eBay on her long ago visit to San Diego.

As much as I like Target with its sometime clean spare mid-century Scandinavian vibe, Dollar Tree is my favorite sale venue of any time, any where. I love its practical everyday items and the many surprise treasures I never planned to buy and couldn't have planned because I never knew such a thing existed.

What for sale and sales have I left out? Given that food is my love language, I need to mention seasonal fruits and veggies. Subway meal of the day. My faves are Chicken Teriyaki on Tuesdays and Tuna on Fridays.

What sale stuff do you hanker after?
