Okay, by now you guys know I'm a dumpster diver, and a cheap grower. I figured out about 7 years ago that in order to stay above water and not worry about bills that instead of working harder and making more money, I would cut back on all my expenses. No car loans, no unnecessary purchases, unless I really wanted something, I would save up for it. I decided to do the same with my grow.

I go to estate sales, garage sales, I use to clean out storage units at the local u-haul, my ex-friends BF use to work at the local U-Haul, they required that if you wanted one of their delinquent units, you had to pay the past 3 months billing due and then they would auction it off. Well, of course no one wanted to pay that much, so he had to get rid of the stuff in the units himself, the owner did not provide any dumpsters to put trash, so he would take large trucks and fill them up with everything, I would help them clean it out and get to pick out what I wanted, well of course this caused problems, my friend didn't want to go through the boxes, she wanted to take to the flea mkt and sell sight unseen, she didn't want to handle the stuff.

There was a person who had passed away with 3 units filled to the brim, I allowed her to use my garage because of the amount of stuff was too much, this gave me a chance to open the boxes at my leisure, well, these units were filled with collectible books, lots of 1st editions, a whole bunch of Free mason stuff, I sold maybe 40 books and made $4,000.00. Well that was the last time she asked me to clean out a unit.

So, today went to garage sales, took my 89 year old mother in law with me for the ride. I went with the intention of finding things for my grow room. Here's today's cheap finds for a cheap grow room.
