Frugal RV items - Thrift Stores/Yard Sales

This week

Free:
  • 2 Milk Crates - In Hotel dumpster, noticed while throwing away some garbage from car
  • 1 Milk Crate - Side of road during snow storm


Cheap:
  • 10 coffee pot percolator for over fire - $1.49 - Salvation Army, 10 cup for others, my family 3 cup


I had been looking for another coffee pot as everyone in family does decaf and I like regular. The milk company milk crates are great for carrying items to and from camper for us.

Returning cans today, thus off to two Goodwill Thrift stores in area to search for more items, which drives my wife nuts.

Anyone else finding anything?

    Milk crates work GREAT under the bed to keep things organized. Zip tie them together so they won't slide around, and that gap between the last milk crate and the wall of the base for the bed becomes usable storage space too, for longer items. Works great!

    I am able to stack the milk crates 2 high in the front storage area and carry them out for use. Good use of space. Cause when they stack, they kinda lock and not slide off.
