Great stories, Doris!
I am not a continuous bargain hunter, by any means. The
only time I go hunting for stuff is when I need/want it.
However, my bargain hunting skills kick into full gear
whenever they are provoked.
That said, it can pay BIG-TIME! to be patient when buying if
the desired goods are not a pressing need. Great deals can
show up in curious places and at totally unexpected times.
Hell, some people (like Yours Truly) have been known to give
away perfectly working equipment for free.
