I don't know if this belongs in this forum, but I found a great deal at my local thrift store. I go in every so often, and it's the kind you have to did thru everything, but it's worth it. You can get a wal-mart bag stuffed full with clothes for $3.00. But yesterday I found a ceiling fan for my dd's room for $5.00!!!! It is gorgeous, I've seen it at Lowes for around $100. It has flower petals for blades and a flower shaped globe. They said a lady brought it in who had just moved into a new house and it was in her boys bedroom. It is supposed to work fine, but if not for $5.00 it was worth a try. Again, you have to go in at least once a week, but when you find great bargins like that it's worth the trouble.
