a steal

When you are looking for used homeschool curriculum here, you have to check every day for new posts.  Everything sells within hours.  This morning, I saw that a bunch of math manipulatives were posted for $15.00.

Momma:  "A mom is selling unifix cubes, 3d shapes, pattern blocks, geo boards, a judy clock and counters, all for $15 postage paid.  That's a steal!"

Paul, looking over my shoulder:  "Did she have go to jail?"

Momma starts laughing.

Paul:  "I mean because she stole something."

Momma:  "No, when we say that something is a "steal" we mean it's a real bargain.  It's just an expression."

Paul, laughing:  "Oooh! I get it."

I love vegsource! I have bought and sold there for years. I have a few things up now, but all my good stuff has sold and so what is left is moving rather slowly. But it doesn't cost anything but a few minutes of time to list it every couple of days, so I keep plugging along. Love it!
