The Best Thing Since...

Meri and I had to take a car load to the Goodwill last weekend.  Two loads so far!  Aren't I being good with my ruthlessness?!  BUT she wanted to go inside and thrift a little.  Darn song. 

Drop off 5 boxes, take 4 boxes home kind of thing...

Sigh.  And we wonder why we have so much stuff.

BUT the Goodwill is better than a garage sale because of the selection.  Unless of course, the garage sale has everything for a quarter, which is a fantastic one to find!  I really dislike the ones that are realistically priced...  Those are typically put on by the husbands.

Anyway, I digress...  

I found a bread slicer guide!!  I WOULD have taken a picture of mine, but some unknown entity in my house has removed two AA batteries from my camera...  We will find them!  The batteries AND the perpetrator!

Off with their heads, kind of thing!

Anyway I found a photo of my slicer on Etsy where they're selling a used one for $40!  Criminy!  I paid all of $3 for mine.  Made bread last night and the slicer guide works superbly!  

As we were waiting in line to leave, the guy checker was oohing and ahhing every item the lady before us had.  OOH!  This is SO cool!  AHH!  This is the best thing since sliced bread!  

He must get paid on customer satisfaction and confidence with their purchases.  

When we got to the counter, he was all "Ooh!!!  This is a fabulous find!"  and then he got to the slicer, "OOH!  This is the best thing since..."  

Go on!  Say it, "sliced bread..." as he trailed off.  I brought up, "What did they say before that when they saw something cool?"  Meri and I deliberated while he drooled out loud over the rest of my purchases and we decided out loud that it must have been "This is the best thing since the guillotine!" 

I mean... what else WAS there?

He thought WE were odd.
