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.
$3.00 osillating fan, after cleaning.
$3.00 wire pot rollers for mother plants
$3.50 heating pad and food processor
$1.00 Radioshack surge protector
$1.00 fan
$1Free 3 bulb light for Photography, vintage
25 cent ea.
$1.00 heating tray vintage for clones
$3.00 vaccum sealer
4 wire baskets for drying buds

Some of the Coolest Things I have ever owned came from Dumpster Diving. I once found a Box that had Two New Stereo Cassette CD Players, and Speakers!!
I was so STOKED!!! I kept One, and traded the Other for Quarter Pound, I was only 15 years old. I told My Mom about It(WELL HALF ABOUT IT), and She was so Happy I had found a New Stereo For Myself. I did not tell Her about the Other One, First because She would Have Confiscated it For My Brother, Second and most important, if She would have Known I had traded the Other One for Weed, She would have just flipped OUT!!!
My Mother was "ANTI ANY TYPES OF MIND ALTERING DRUGS, ALCOHOL,TOBACCO, TOO MUCH POP, basically it seemed to Us, (ME AND MY BROTHER) Anything She did Not Personally Approve Of.
But it was Great to get a New Stereo, and a bag of Weed, for FREE!!!
BTW, I could Really Use a New Fan,LOL
! Right ON Auntie!!! SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
cant wait to see what you grow next
2 tokes and that was all I needed, smooth, taste has to establish itself, but not bad at all, better then the crap I was paying for. My hubby took 1 toke and was in the kitchen within 20 minutes making himself some toast (munchies). He told me to save the rest for tonight so he can relax when we smoke it. He's not a smoker, but will take a hit every now and then, I'm hoping it will help him with his arithritic knees, he needs surgery on both, but we're holding out on surgery until he can't stand the pain anymore, which I think is right around the corner. That's what working on a auto assembly line will do to you. 
Again, thanks for all your help everyone!!!
James, that's an excellent idea, I also picked up a cookie sheet for a buck, that's what I'll use next time along with the paper bins, thanks, never thought of that, 2 ways to use one item, I like that, thank God he left you that brain cell intact, now you take good care of it, we need you here (that one cell must be hugh, with all the knowledge you have)
now I gotta go and play with some hot oil, my honey wants fried shrimp for dinner, wish me look
