Did the recycling at my daughters apartment tonight and found.........

that I had forgotten to consider checking the apartment recycle room, till this evening!! Have been here since Saturday.

First thing I saw when I pushed open the mega heavy door, was stuff..and lots of bins!! Mattrasses bundles up against the one bin..not touching those......lol!! Looked to my left and saw a cute pair of tall rain boots......... made a mental note to go back and check them out.

Pulled open one paper recycle bin, and voila.......
2 cereal boxes -$ 5.50 Kelloggs products and Yoplait FPC..whooot!!
BakeFest Pull out receipe booklet with $8.25c in cpns including Tenderflake, and an elusive BUTTER cpn
Today Parent and Flare magazines -
GLADE wahoo!! I love this stackable cpn
Softsoap
Childrens Tylenol

Walked to the shiny rain boots, Marc Jacobs......hmm......designer boots!!
Put them into the recycle box to take back up to the apartment.

First thing I did was to check them out, size 37, my size.......then pulled on one.........it fit!! Holy cow!! I am in shock now........try on the other boot, and it fits as well!! Clean, new and fit me............ whoot!!
You have no idea what a find that is for me...... I cannot wear traditional fitting boots, my calves have been a huge issue for years, as in too big for any regular boot........right now I have only suede winter boots because I can slouch the boots down, they never fit if I try to pull them up!!!

These boots fit me..........the rain boots I bought last year, were $150 and are zip up......they did fit me tightly, but after putting on so much weight in the past year due to medication changing, these boots now cannot be zipped all the way up. I am in Vancouver for the week to dog sit my daughters dog. I needed rain boots so took my badly fitting rain boots with me as I did not have any others. No budget to buy another pair either!!

I also have been checking the mail box area and have found Mc Cafe coupon booklet, lots of free Xmas tags, SDM bonus point cpn.

Guess who will be going to check the recycle area tomorrow night once again..........lol!!:P

wow nice find in the boots-keep looking -never know what you will find

Awesome finds!!! :-)

Designer boots in a recycle bind ....wtg...good for you :) I would love to find that too....as we said a person trow a things become another person treasure...Marc Jacobs WTG....that people could at least take them to an appropriate donation place...but hey good for you:)

WTG, now you can walk with dry feet (as far as those big calves, I have the same issue) Nice score

WOW!!! Thats fantastic. I am glad you have a great pair of boots!!!!

Anytime i check out my Bf's recycle this wicked woman in the front yells at me. So I dont do it anymore barely go there anyway.

Now I wish I was in the city still *cry* all those coupons in the recycles that I can't get....

Great find on the boots!!

awesome.. just hope someone didnt leave them there temporarily to do something else.. LOL..
i've been trying to find rain boots for forever the best i can find is $30 but thats tacky black with pottery band.. i want polka dots. :)

"Those boots are made for walkin'! And that's just what you'll do! So glad you found those boots while saving coupons from their doom!"

Awesome brag!

^^^ she never stops does she. LOL always singing a tune

Lol at Koolaid!!
I would never have taken the boots had I any doubt that someone had not abandoned stuff in the recycle room. There was also a great new looking rug, some other shoes and clothing shoved in the side..........
these buildings are all triple secured, needc a pass key and have to go through 2 secure doors to get inot htat room, with security guards 24 hours, was hoping that he was not watching over me........lol!! Actually he was away from his desk when I went there, i checked first.,,no one was monitoring the TV camera screens. I may be on tape though, /did I remember to smile?? lol!!!!

how could anyone abandon MJ' boots.. how sad.. well at least your putting them to good use.. sounds like your place is quite secure.

Boots! Nice job!! Well that says it all to me, throw a strand of pearls on with you new Boots and happy Coupon Hunting.

Great score on the boots. I found a new pair myself this week at a second hand shop. Medical conditions sure make you appreciate something as small as dry feet.

:)

yeah! i hear ya on the calves too... finally got a pair of winter boots that zip up all the way. tender tootsies. never tried a pair on before and they fit my 11w feet perfectly. nothing ever does.

wtg on the marc jacobs boots! :top:
i can't believe someone would throw them away!

wow fantasic finds!!!

thanks for all the thumbs up folks.
Funny thing that I noticed when I returned this evening and walked into the apartment lobby........what was off to the one side, near the elevators??

a box will all sorts of shoes, think they were ladies...........

folks, there is no way that I would even touch that box, its right near the elevator.....ak!!! Talk about not allowing anyone any discretion.......lol!!!
The recycle room would have been a far better spot to place them IMHO!!!

Last year when my partner was moving his stuff into my place, he left a bed frame in the condo garbage / recycle room, and came home with the neatest pair of bedside lamps.......... we really like them, his and hers, one in brass oriental style for him, and one oriental pottery style for my side.

I love our free discoveries.

Awesome find wahoo :)

Nice job!!

When we returned for taking the dog out for a walk this evening, I checked that recycle room again.......be darned if someone had not left a superb coffee table in there.......
heck, seem like you can move in here with the bare minimum, and furnish your apartment ever month.............with everyone's discards.....lol!!!

Nice score! :)

I am going to miss this apartment for it easy access to a recycle room and all its treasures.

This evening back I went to toss out the magazines I had picked up last night and pulled cpns from already.

Coffee table is still there, with a cutlery tray.......and the rug!! As it gets closer to the end of the month I am sure that there will be more finds sitting there waiting a new owner!

In the recycle bin tonight was a fold out flyer with SDM Bonus point coupons, looks like its from a sample pack perhaps..with 8 BP cpns, 8000 points total.
I am taking it home to Calgary complete to show to my daughter so that she know what to look for.

Amazing haul!
