We're near the end of a 16-day pet and house sit in Mission. Part of our pet management strategy is that one of us takes the alpha female out for a walk while the other plays with the 2 other dogs. On my walks around a suburban residential neighbourhood (and close by a penitentiary for good measure) gives me the opportunity to sweep for returnables - apparently so low in value children don't bother with them anymore except for organised bottle drives.
We went on an outing to Maple Ridge where one of the thrift shops has excellent prices on cutlery at a mere 5 cents a piece. I picked up a vintage Canadian-made fork and a U.S.-made one that is part of our set for a mere 10 cents for both: The deposit value of two pop cans or two juice boxes. Thrifting fuels my own personal bottle drive.
