Bought these for . Also, the family having the yardsale was struggling pretty bad. Probably because they were buying this crap instead of saving money for harder times.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:15AM, made it out driving by 7:51 AM and went out until around 1:30PM for a total of 5 hours, 39 minutes. Spent .00 plus ~.98 gas for 41 miles of driving (15.1 mpg @ .94/G), for a total cost of .98. We drove to 64 yard sales, stopping at 22 (34%) of them. We made 49 purchases (50 items) for a total estimated value of 3.64, leading to a profit/savings of 2.66. So in essence, we multiplied our .98 investment by 9.18X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $ ~755 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the 2 in cash that we saved. How long does 2 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5.65 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of 7.29/hr as a couple or .64/hr per person.
