Thrifty Thursday

Pin It
It's time for Thrifty Thursday!!

Woo hoo!!!  A washboard!!  I have been looking for a reasonably priced one for years now that was in good condition.  I plan on actually using it for what it is intended for!!  Cost - $5.00



Then I found this and just had to pick it up for Luke...he will love this being an archaeology major ...... cost $2.00.  They are two separate pieces and I think the head is made to be a planter???





Happy Thrifting and remember to give your loved ones a hug!

  4. An old-fasioned washboard?! So glad I have a machine to do that... ;-)) (Can you imagine a family of 10, doing all that laundry on a board like that? Oy...)
    Great finds!

    1. No I could not imagine a family of 10! Wow. I just wish to do my linens with it so I can get them extra white.

  6. I love washboards! I have a few hanging on the wall in my laundry room. I don't plan to actually use mine right away, but may have to some day. We inherited a cool wringer washer recently, and I may put that one to use.

    1. Oh Becky that is cool you have some too! I also have a wringer washer in the barn that I am planning on resurrecting once I get home. It works perfectly and I remember how fun it was to use growing up. Enjoy yours!
