Thrifty Find Thursday

I found this yesterday at a chain second hand store.

It's a electric ice cream maker. Last summer, I found a crank ice cream maker for $4. No energy required...well that is to say no carbon emitting energy. It certainly takes a lot of human energy, which is sometimes in short supply.

So, this electric ice cream maker was a treasure to find. Brand new without a spot of anything on it. I imagine because of it's amazing condition that it was never used...until now.

I was able to google search Rival Ice Cream Maker and found out it costs $40 US, when I paid $10, with a coupon for $10 off...so basically free! The google search lead me to two Home Shopping Channel Youtube videos where the ladies showed me how to use my machine. How to pull it a part, put the ice cream mixture in and what to do. I was also able to find this website that has the exact "Owner's Guide" and printed it off. The website has many more manuals as well. The manual has recipes and how-to's.

So...I have a brand new Ice Cream Maker, and I know exactly how to use it. I'd say it was my thrifty find of the month!
