What are your most recent things you've found at a real bargain price? I was at Home Depot yesterday shopping for sprinkler heads and stumbled upon $5 toilet seats, I just couldn't resist, something new to sit on  ------------------

I was at the landfill dropping off some yard waste and was paying for 2 yards of bark when I overheard a woman in a minivan ask if the landfill took ranges. Needing an oven in the garage for my new powdercoating kit, I asked her if the oven worked and her reply "oh, the whole thing works, why would you like it?" Needless to say, I followed her home, got a nice range for FREE and now just need to wire in an outlet for it in the garage.

Another thing I think is a good deal is lately I've been getting the taco salad at Wendy's. It comes with a standard size salad, a bowl of chili, sour cream, corn chips and salsa. You're supposed to dump the chili and the sour cream into the salad, but I get low-fat Catalina salad dressing for the salad, eat the chili separately, save the corn chips and salsa for a late night snack, and use the sour cream with a baked potato I have in a meal later on in the week. That's not a bad return for $4.19. ------------------

That's a lot of self control there, Steve. I'd just dump them all in and have it down in about 3 minutes.

Recently found out the Taco Bell taco salad has more calories than a Big Mac meal.

Oops, Scott, I just noticed you were talking about Taco Bell's salad. I was talking about Wendy's.------------------

Taco Bell I thought I saw their salad with fixin's was 890 cal, which is less than the Big Mac & Fries, but I don't eat all the fries anyway I've been doing the McDonalds salads lately and they come in at about 390 - 420, that's why I was shocked the Taco Bell salad was over 800.

I've been eating salads for lunch during the week days. I make my own though, I'm too cheap, plus my doctor threatened to put me on more meds, so have to behave. It sucks being old.------------------

Our dishwasher died last week....we've had a leaking cold water pipe in the basement that's been leaking since we moved into this house 4 years ago (the house is 40 years old)....and the shower drain doesn't stay open when taking a shower. Got a new built in Kenmore dishwasher, pipe fixed and a new shower drain for $60 (my deductible). Of course, the $350 home warranty renewal I paid 10 months ago didn't "feel" like such a good deal, but the $60 I paid yesterday did seem like a good deal for a $350 dishwasher and a draining shower....oh yea, and that pesky leaking water pipe.------------------

No, still less as the Big Mac and 'medium' fries come in at 910. ------------------
