We have a neighbor who sometimes throws things away that are better than what we have. I rescued some pots and pans in about 2001 or 2002. They're starting to lose their non-stick surface (see my first sentence about the quality of her stuff.) I went out and bought new pots and pans today.
And the Princess Royal found The Apprentic, Cirque du Freak, on sale and she bought it for my Christmas present.
I bought the 3 show set of the Masterpiece Mystery Sherlock Holmes because it seems really good.
