Last week while cruising a local pawn shop, I found a 4 oz roll of 40/60 solder in with the bulk wrenches and sockets. Asked the guy at the counter and he said 50 cents. It's enough to sweeten the mix for a lot of 22 cal bullets.
One of the local thrift stores is having everything for half price from 1 to 3 this month. Picked up several brass doo dads that I could sell for more as scrap than the sale price. Also found 2 pewter candle holders that were marked a dollar each, so I got them both for a dollar. Got them home and knocked the weight of of the bottoms and they weighed .43 pounds.
You've always got to be on the look out. Even the little finds add up.
