Hi Ruth,

-> Not too many pack outs in this neighborhood; it's a fairly well
-> established one, none student housing.  The seminary sponsors a yard
-> sale twice a year; maybe we need to check that out.

 RH> That sounds like a good idea. There won't be much vintage stuff at
 RH> student housing tag sales, but you never know.  I've had antiques pop
 RH> up in the darnedest places.  My sister's enameled cast iron covered
 RH> casserole turned up at one on Saturday.  She's had me on the lookout
 RH> for months.

Yes, every so often you can find a real steal of a deal at them.


 RH> Now to find a set of Sitram pans at the Salvation Army....

What's so special about them?

-> English/Spanish.  It looked like they had a fair sized Spanish speaking
-> staff; Dad says there are only a couple of check out clerks left from
-> the old A&P staff.

 RH> That's too bad.  Good about the Spanish food though.

Not much in the line of Spanish products, mostly same old stuff but
bilingual in the packaging.

-> and a privately owned grocery store. Now they have one plus a
-> convenience store/gas station.  My parents try to do most of their
-> shopping when they go to Kiingston or Oneonta for appointments; not the
-> best plan but that's what they're happy with.

 RH> They may not have a choice, depending on what's available.

They say prices are so much lower in Kingston or Oneonta.  I know they
have to burn gas to get there for appointments but they also use it in
run around to the various stores.  Don't know if there's much different
than what they can get in M'ville.
