One of my favorite places to shop is the Hospital Auxiliary's Economy Shop in Powell River. I'm always finding great things that I actually want and need. Plus, the price is always better than other thrift shops AND the proceeds go back to our health services here in Powell River. A double bonus.<br /><br />Also, I love watching the Freecycle posts via my email. I've given here twice, but haven't accepted anything yet. I find it's an interesting way to see what's happening in my town. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-32995005516936720402012-12-07T10:36:57.853-08:002012-12-07T10:36:57.853-08:00I have started to buy large packs and cut them dow...I have started to buy large packs and cut them down - pork loin being one of the easiest.
