nothin' but the kitchen sink

Yesterday

we happened upon the grand opening 

of a Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

We only had a few minutes to spare, 

but figured we ought to run in and take a look.

They mostly had junk.

But

we found a new

guaranteed-not-to-chip-crack-or-burn top mount cast iron sink or $150.

We did a quick search online to see what they go for in the store.

$236.

We I asked the guy of they could come down a bit,

since a savings of $86 didn't seem all that great,

compared to the $65 price they had on stainless steel sinks

that sell at Lowe's for $168.00

He promptly told us he sells them cast iron sinks for that price

because he can. 

Said he might consider coming down on something 

that had been in the store a few weeks,

but the cast iron sinks are never there that long.

We were debating...

I mean, on the one hand it was a good price, but not spectacular.

On the other, we will need a kitchen sink.

eventually.

So it could be prudent to go ahead and get it.

Then the guy told us that (duh!) we didn't have to pay sales tax

since it was a charity store.

So we bought it.

We may not have the house plans figured out yet,

but by golly,

we've got the kitchen sink!
