WHEN MOST OF US PURCHASE SOMETHING>> AND IT DOES NOT WORK OUT>>>>

Many of us when we purchase something that does not work out for whatever reason...

Get something home that you are not allowed to preview and try on before purchase>>>

Say underwear!! Now days because everything is mass produced in sweat shops often by underage children who should be in school....

But whoever they are they are abused while they are working... pressed to produce more pieces in fewer minutes!

So, not only do we have to be concerned about washing well with bleach prior to wearing to prevent disease...

Many of these sweat shops are in places that clean safe drinking water does not even exist for all people!


But often, nothing is even sewn correctly!
I recently bought two packages of Fruit of the Loom cotton womens panties 14 pair and not even one was sewn correctly. One leg way too small and other leg hole way to large...

Impossible to even get onto one's body! PAINFUL if you manage to get them on!

My husband, thinking he would be a sweetie pie and noticed what I bought myself and the size...bought me more!!!

They too were not properly sewn! Over 20 pair and not one wearable!
I never in my life returned even brand new underwear...

And there have been many things one of us has purchased and was never used but tossed in corners and drawers!!

We have gone on a return spree!!

Most folks do most of their shopping on a regular basis in the same stores, even if not every time!!

So my husband and I have gone through our closets, drawers, shelves, underneath seats in cars, and under sofas etc...

Looking for anything we have purchased and never used.

Often the item or items were still in the original bag with the original receipt!

We then not making a special trip out just to return a $5.00 item or even something more expensive....

To conserve time and gasoline, we plan our returns on the way to other events, functions or required errands such as doctor or dental appointments.

He exchanged hinges, packages of electrical connectors etc... stuff he had bought because he thought he was going to need for this job or that...

But he either never did it... or a customer cancelled their order...
So he exchanges his stuff for bug bombs and garden sprays etc...

That he actually set off in our house our next outing! And he treated our grass and garden that very same day.... with a song in his heart and a smile on his face!!!
DRINK UP BABY!

For he knew it was like getting those things for free.. for he did not spend cash for anything!

Today we went to our storage area, on the way to post office, on the way to a late lunch early supper at the Kannapolis K&W where we always enjoy hot food, large portions at a very reasonable price.... and are served by friendly smiling gals that now feel like family!



And both my husband and I always eat well and the two of us together even with a tip get out for $12.00 or less!


When in the area stop in and see them all!!
You will be glad that you did!!
And you will look foward counting the days before you can fit in your schedule your next meal and visit there!!

We then meandered to the mall where I returned some damaged hair bow things and exchanged for a callender book!! 2010 will be here before you can spin around...

You won't remember where 2009 went! That callender book I found late this afternoon not a day too soon....

I have already written appointments and reminders in!

YOUR HARVEST and ours is often hidden among our fragments we allow to be wasted or burried somewhere... closet floors and backs of drawers often blocking them from opening!

From the mall where we found Unusually CROWDED due to hundreds of trick or treaters going from store to store...

We went to Wal-Mart where I returned two full packages of those unwearable underwear!!

I was given a gift card with $12.93 on it... Which I gave my husband to put toward our regular grocery shopping which he had done as I worked on getting my return accepted!!

$62.00+ in groceries - the $12.93 return gift card... Felt wonderful !!
Walking out and riding home with good fresh food we will actually eat...

WE CAN CHOOSE TO WASTE NO MORE!!!
I challenge you to get those bags of returns together...

You will feel wonderful turning what you cannot use into useful needed items and fun SUPRISES!

EstherStephanada & Billy-Jacob!
