Rummage Sale - $5 Fill a Bag Deal


Twice a year Foothills Methodist Church in La Mesa, CA sponsors a Rummage Sale with all the proceeds going to their Mission overseas.  It's a 3 day event beginning on Thursday leading into Saturday. On Saturday-the last day, they have whats called "fill a bag for $5". It's amazing what you can fit in a grocery bag! Have you heard of such a thing? That is a great way to insure more sales right?  Here are some random pictures of my finds.
