Today we went to the Springville Auction. It was awesome! So many deals to be had. I so wish we lived on a farm.Even just a small one. They had a large flea market type thing that started early this morning. About noon that broke up and the live animal auction began. They had all kinds of animals from button quail, chickens, bunnies, turkeys, to sheep, goats, cows, horses, pigs. They also had things like feed and bedding, potatoes and such. We bought three Flemish Giant does and a New Zealand buck. They will be bred for babies and meat. Their droppings will be used to feed worms and make manure for our garden. Some worms will be sold to the fishermen down by the lake.
Other than the buns, we bought 100 lbs of potatoes (50lbs white and 50lbs red) for $10.00, two huge heads of cauliflower for $8.00, two large spaghetti squash for $4.00, 10 sweet potato for $3.00, four lbs carrots for $2.00 (for the buns), a huge case of bananas for $9.00. The bananas were 4lbs/$ but I wanted the whole case. Ron weighed the bananas when we got home and it came out to 55 lbs and we ate a few bananas on the way home! So it came out to roughly .16¢ a lb. Works for me! My kids are ape over them and then if you add in baking, I couldn't resist! Bananas are .49¢/lb on sale here so this is quite a savings. We also bought some things to eat there like fresh cheese curd and pepperoni. It was a real treat and a nice light lunch for Ron and I. It was a nice, sunny, warm day to enjoy the auction too. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all the bargains we found.
I hope ya'll had a wonderful day, wherever you are.
Take care,
Pam
