Scavenger Life

On our way to NYC for 10 days to scavenge, see family and relax/work. Just changed our handling time. Santa guy paid. It’s going to be a great, scavenger Christmas!

eBay bought Terrapeak. USPS is raising their prices, as they pretty much do every year.

We bump up against the age old questions about auction vs buy now, cancel and sell again for 20x the price, what would you do in this situation? Also these are our meal prep containers that we’re obsessed with. Special thanks to Kate for helping me with the denim jacket research.
