Official Culebra and 1604 area thread (to buy, rapes, sticker)

Braved the traffic and crowds and went to the new Goodwill store today. I was on a specific hunt, and I walked in the side door, turned to the left, and found my prey instantly. A brand new, still-in-the-box bread machine for 40 bucks. She shoots, she scores! The store has tons of clothing, the usual mugs, dinner plates, etc., and it seems like they have more new, in-the-box items than I recall seeing at other thrift stores. It was very busy--had to park at Wells Fargo which I'm sure didn't make them very happy, since they have regular hours on Saturdays. Oh well, I was in and out in 10 minutes.

There is a new Sushi restaurant on Bandera and 1604 next to Gold's Gym. Never been there, though. As for Goodwill, I love that place! I've found some very eclectic and vintage t-shirts and blouses.

A bread machine?! I totally hate you. LOL That is an awesome find.

If you don't tell her, we will.

You didn't happen to notice if they had a punch bowl, did ya? I can't find ours and I need one on Tuesday. I really don't see spending a ton of money for one since we don't ever use it.

I think they had this one on clearance for cheaper than that at Target, and I talked myself out of buying it when I saw it. Now, I've had a change of heart, went searching for one, and couldn't find one. So, I think I ended up paying about 10 bucks more for it than I could have, but at least I helped out a good cause. The gal at the register said they get a lot of things donated by Target, which is really nice.

LOL I got a clearance punch bowl w/glasses at HEB after Christmas--for $4.97!!! I got the glass cake holder, too--same price. I was sooooooooo thrilled! They were $20 originally. Sangria time.

I'm sure if they don't have one now, they will! Thrift stores are so fun.

Sapphy, I made some Hawaiin bread with my $10 bread machine last night. It is so awesome that I am pretty sure I've gained a pound today. We haven't been to the new GW yet, but will try during the week when it isn't as crowded.

OMG. I love my bread machine. The house smells fabulous! I can't believe I waited all these years..........SC, rub it in about your $10 machine! I was looking for a used one, but when one jumped out at me brand new, I had to buy it. This is the Krusteaz brand, Italian Herbs. I will be experimenting with some home-made versions next weekend, but I just wanted to break her in!
