Thrifty Thursday: Stuff It In (twss)

Remember that one time last week when I bought a super expensive treadmill for $14.99?

If not, do better about following my blog and catch up here.

The last story ended with a GIANT treadmill taking up my parking space in the garage (which I do not appreciate because I am spoiled).

Susan offered up her super handy husband to come over on Monday night to help get it in the house and she also volunteered child labor for it as well (which I'm totally okay with in this situation) (really most situations... what is the use in having kids if you can't make them do stuff you yourself don't want to do... circle of life kids, get over it).

Susan then texts me a few days prior confirming the appointment treadmill raising (remember back in the day when we had barn raisings? It is like that only way cooler).  I said of course we were and she then told me she was bringing dinner.

SCORE!

I made a mental note to make sure to get some paper plates and junk and some drinks and did just that. When they arrived on Monday night she had brought with her:

Plates and bowls
Chicken spaghetti
Diabetic coma in a bowl (some desert that had all the sugaries in it)
Some flower salad (again, sugary goodness but it was pink and she said something about a flower)
Corn
Black-eyed peas
Tang pie (there are so many jokes about tang that we made on account of this pie)
Coconut pie
Cornbread
Stevie
2 16 year old boys
Other kids that were no help but did make the house lively
A 2 liter of Coke

Yes. You read that right.

Free dinner. Free labor. Cheap fancy ass treadmill.

I think this GIF explains it all...
