They shopped throughout the school year and then left behind their wardrobes in trash bags. I guess it wasn't worth it to ship the clothes home. The Hurricane would go through the bags and find clothes she could wear. Once she got a J. Crew plaid wool skirt. We knew it was $40 because the tag was still on it. That was different from going through garbage, though. I thought The Hurricane was quite resourceful.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-53405359562121500762014-05-07T14:08:16.978-04:002014-05-07T14:08:16.978-04:00This Mama doesn't dig through castoff stuff! ...This Mama doesn't dig through castoff stuff! In my neighborhood in Cincinnati, though, every Sunday night, when the garbage was put out, you could count on some dude in a dilapidated pick up truck to make his rounds and pick through all of our curbside garbage. Maybe he got some scrap metal, and turned it in for cash. And maybe he refurbished the busted stuff. All I know was that it was weird.
