November 2008 some fencing stuff and misc horse tack.
November 2008 deep freezer but my brother took it after I sold him a half of a hog and he realized he couldnt fit it all in his refrigator freezer. (I got it to make a home made incubator) Husband was quite delighted that I parted with it. But I admit I'm still looking for one.

February 2009 miniature jack donkey. I've always wanted to breed mini mules I have mini ponies so I couldnt pass up Zeke.

I think shutting off the paypal account would be more effective. Wow!
That's a lot of stuff. Maybe you could go on Freecycle and he wouldn't complain as much. The hatching eggs fall under "necessity" though.
 
Awesome! Way to go! Tell hubby that at least it's not clothes or makeup.

I've bought over $100 worth of chickens off craigslist in the past year. YIKES!

BAN ME!
 
You got yourself a farm on craigslist! I know on craigslist you can get some stuff real cheap or even free, so if this is the case you did alright!
 
everything you got sounds practical to me

I am of course a Craigslist whore and can not go a day with out looking for something!

I have a billion justifications for shopping for things there

if you ever need any just ask

main one

why on earth buy something for full price when there are so many things available for so much less

right now I am on a mission for two things one is a nice clean used fridge for my new adventures into charcuterie I started making bacon and sausage and just need decent clean fridg with not much of a freezer to hang things in for drying ...also I am need of a new sofa and have first looked online ..then in some stores ..but only to do the research ..my final purchase now that I have found what I wanted will be off craigslist!

the nice thing about craigslist is you can get rid of all kinds of things as fast as you can buy them

for a while I was thinking about making a greenhouse out of all these windows we took out of the house when we replaced them ..they were awful and could not even make it to be greenhouse valuable so I just put them in a pile took a picture said "all or none" and in a day they were gone!

also we are recycling

and I would not even have chickens right now if it was not for craigslist I met two wonderful guys who have immaculate places with very healthy hens. Both sold me beautiful healthy birds for so much less than what it would have cost to raise them myself.

I am going to pick up four more this week but then I have to stop!

(for now)

I think your list is awesome and you really scored I am sure!

bless craig and his list
