Craig is My Favorite Person

After Brad and Ruth, of course, Craig has to be my favorite person in the entire world. Not that I've ever met him, but Craig and his list has saved me so much money I seriously love him to death! My most recent Craig's list purchases were this beautiful changing table ($15), which just so happens to match the rocking chair and crib in Ruth's room! (I'm also proud of myself because I put it together...we won't say how long that took!) And in the same morning I picked up Ruth's new Fisher Price Jumperoo ($20)! I am going to run the numbers like I always do:


WalMart had no changing tables, at least at the Jerome location. The new "gently used" kids store opening tomorrow has a changing table but they were asking $65 for a used one that wasn't even the right color. Other kids stores priced their changing tables from $120 - $400! So once again my purchase for $15 was a STEAL! Especially since it's in great condition.


The jumperoo I got for $20 was also the best deal around. The cheapest jumperoo at WalMart was $40, but the one that is comparable to this one was selling for $90. At Target the same Fisher Price Jumperoo was going for $120. At the used kids store opening up they were selling it for $35. SCORE!

Thank you Craig, wherever you are, who ever you are, thank you.
