<p>I love the end of the year here at school…seems like a lot of the student body is so well off that they don’t want to bother putting things in storage over the summer or fixing things that are barely broken. I got one of those padded circular dorm room chairs last year with the school logo on it, practically brand new. It needed some new screws to hold the fold-out legs to the frame. They’re $50 at the bookstore…and it was mine for only 25 cents (the price of two new screws).</p>
<p>I also love the lost-and-found pile at the summer camp that I work at. If it’s the end of the summer, there’s no name in it, and it’s your size, it’s yours. I’ve gotten a bunch of new towels and T-shirts that way.</p>
