thrifty thursday: mmm-mmm-mmm good

retro campbell's soup thermos

I’ve been looking for a Campbell’s soup thermos for a few months. Every once and awhile I’ll run across one, but it’s either too expensive or not in the greatest condition. I was so excited to find these very clean ones while shopping the east campus garage sales.

Now that the cooler weather has arrived, we’ve been doing a lot of picnic lunches. I had this idyllic vision of my daughter and I sitting on a blanket eating homemade soup and watching the leaves fall. In reality, she doesn’t like soup, so she eats her pb+j and I have an Amy’s burrito (which fits in the thermos perfectly, by the way).

thrifting: I find that just around the time I give up hope finding an item, the thrifty fairies drop one in my path.
