My favorite thing to thrift shop for.

Happy Weekend everyone! I am off to the yard sales again. It's going to be a good Saturday. I just wanted to share today that when thrift shopping the first place I always head to is the games section. We are big game players and I have bought almost all of mine at our local secondhand store for $1 or less. Not only that but most of them are in perfect condition and have never been used! The boxes can deceive you. They might look old and worn out and you could guess that half the pieces inside will be missing. More often than not though, I'll open it up to check and surprisingly everything is untouched or at least in good condition, and it's all there. This week I bought Canasta Caliente. Have any of you ever played it? I had heard it was fun so I took the chance and husband was pleased because he used to play it all the time I guess. I can't wait to try it at family dinner on Sunday. I have also bought four or five Rook decks there. We play a game called Pounce (very similar to Nertz) with them so we can't get enough of the cards. Every deck has been between .50 cents and .09 cents! Another fun thing about these games is that they are often "vintage" looking which kind of adds to their cool factor if you ask me. Anyway, when hitting the games section, don't judge a book by it's cover. You might find your new favorite game!
