Just curious what you guys have been able to score recently.

I don't have anything really good to share, been spending too much. Let me live vicariously (and frugally!) through you!

Kid's news print "doodle pads" are actually just decent drawing paper for about a quarter of the price

Found I can get 5G at home. About half the cost of starlink.

Found a cast iron griddle for 4$ at goodwill. I'm stripping it with easyoff and gonna order some lead tests on Monday. No branding whatsoever sadly but very decent shape so not complaining

Found a brand new (still with original tags) Duluth Trading Co. "flannel jacket" for $7. It's an oversized, fleece-lined flannel shirt. Nice quality, very warm & soft. The retail tags read $59.99, discontinued/clearance $29.95 with a date of 2013. Discontinued over a decade ago and it finally has a home (and I love it).

They do still sell these, with a few design improvements (side pockets), but they're around $80 now I believe.

That reminds me, winter stuff is probably on sale now.

I found a new bar thanks to a friend. I pay $3 for a beer I'd pay $5-$6 at most places.

A brand new coffee grinder (hand crank) for free, and 15 silk neckties for €1 each.
