A-hunting I will go, chasing down bargains in the salvage store.

This is where the hybrid, rigged with a rack, comes to the forefront. I hang the panniers on the sides; put the trunk on top; and off I go!

The salvage store opens at 8:30 am on Saturday, and I like to be there for opening time. I beat the crowds; the pickings are likely to be better early in the day; and, in hot weather, I can be back home before the worst of the day\’s heat sets in.

Heat wasn\’t a problem today, although it did look like it might rain. I\’m glad it didn\’t! I\’m also glad we don\’t need to worry about that system in the Caribbean just yet.

When I get home from a trip to the salvage store, I like to go online and see how much the things I bought there would cost if I purchased them from other sources. As usual, the ride to the salvage store paid off.

I found 8 oz bags of roasted, salted pistachios for $2.24 per bag. One online store (I don\’t want to name names) sells them for $4.46 per bag. I found grain-free granola, less than a dollar for an 8 oz bag. There was hummus, a 10 oz box for 99¢!

Naturally I hit the grab-bag bins, and made up a small bag. I looked for things that might be good ride food, but of course got a few candy bars. Butterfinger® Peanut Butter Cups were too much for my curiosity about new sweets!

Hunting I will go next Saturday? I keep saying I\’ve got to use up the stuff I already have before I get more; then I go out and get more! That reminds me, I\’d better check to be sure my bargain-hunting license hasn\’t expired!
