Good things come to those who wait...

Or my ode to Craigslist.

We love Craigslist. My sister and her husband really turned us on to it when we moved here. They've bought all sorts of stuff off of CL, including a car and a boat. So we've become Craigslists fanatics. Before we buy anything we check CL first. So this summer we bought our trampoline for $80 -- it needed new mats but we still saved hundreds of dollars. Then we bought a modem for our computer for $10 - again saving at least 50 bucks. And then this week we scored on a treadmill for--get this--$75!!! Al has wanted a treadmill for a couple years but I never felt like we had enough room in our CT house. Ironically, this house is actually smaller but we're just going to squeeze it in. Anyway, it's a nice treadmill that some girl inherited and just wanted to get rid of. And we were lucky enough to be the first callers. The thing with CL is that you really have to be dilligent in checking it and acting quickly. We have gotten such good deals because we have been patient. So, check it out, you won't be sorry.
