Rural Ways went shopping for back-to-school clothes yesterday. We bought nine items—three pairs of pants, three shirts, one pair of shorts, one skirt, one dress. Total cost: $4.50. Then, we went to Cal Ranch for one item—a hat. Total cost: $22. Granted, the hat is a bit of a specialty item—a 7 and 1/8 inch Bangorra by Alamo—but, clearly, the Catholic Thrift Shop in Cedar City, Utah will continue to be our retailer of choice.

I looked up the Bangora by Alamo, nice hat. I purchased a similar hat at Dessert Industries in Sugarhouse for $1 a few years ago. I've got a lot of mileage out of those 100 pennies. http://searching4whitewater.blogspot.com/2009/05/afternoon-paddle-on-squam.html
ReplyDeleteDang. I guess we should have shopped around. We could have made a run over to DI before going to Cal Ranch. That would have saved us $21. Bring your Bangora to Sand Wash in a couple of weeks. I want to have the opportunity to yell, "Kayakin' Cowboy."
