Making some balls. Meatballs that is!

I've been making a batch of my meatballs for my hubby every month or so. I freeze them up and he takes what he wants out for lunch. For a sauce he uses that Country Bob's sauce I gave away a couple of months ago.
Ever since we tried it we have had it in the house. I was wondering if anyone else had got some and if you liked it as well. He uses it for steaks also. I make homemade BBQ sauce and I use it in place of spices. It give the sauce a nice tang. I suppose I could also try A-1 sauce too.
I love Meatballs and rice. I think we have that about 2 times a month. I make sweet and sour with one bottle chili sauce and 9 oz of grape jelly. That's my favorite. I also do a BBQ sauced meatballs. And I just had italian meatbalss with rice. I used a jar of spagetti sauce. I also added Italian seasonings and real parmasean cheese to the meatball mix. Yummy, Yummy!
I took some kids clothes over to a consighnment store in the next town over. I dropped off two garbage bags of clothes. The lady said it would be 45 minutes until they could finish going through them. So we went shopping and came back. She handed me back the two garbage bags pointed to a pile of 5 outfits and said "That is all we want. The rest is stained or worn."
Um.
Yea.
They weren't worn and there were no stains. I had already sorted all the summer, older, and stained stuff out. I'm haveing a garage sale this weekend and I'll sell that stuff there.
Whatever.
I stopped uptown at a different consignment shop. The sign said she wasn't taking anything now so I asked her when she would be taking stuff. She said that in two weeks call. So I'm going to have the garage sale and what I don't sell I'll take up there if is nice enough.

Okay, I have no idea how the comment I meant for this post ended up on your last post. I will copy it here.

I'm anti-consignment shop. The prices in all of the ones I have been in are ridiculous. The local one sells cookbooks for more than I can buy on Amazon (used with shipping) or Ollie's (new).

Once I was in there with my son and he picked up a small toy (a small Fisher Price person or truck) and when I tried to buy it they told me that particular toy wasn't for sale! Whatever. How they make any money, I have no idea. We have plenty of yard sales around here that sell cheap. I'd rather sell all my stuff cheap at a yard sale and get rid of it than wait for a consignment shop to sell a few pieces of it.
