The VF version of winning a major lottery jackpot! Great deal - hope you enjoy them.

Yes, exactly! I used to have my father-in-law's weights but I never imagined I would be strong enough to use them all so when my brother-in-law asked for them I let him take some of them (we agreed to split). My guess is he ditched them long ago and I have been wanting more so this was just perfect!

Thanks, everyone, for being excited with me! Hubby just looked at me with a disinterested blank face. :eyeroll:

Does finding something at Half Price Books (the store, not on line) count? I picked up Ellen Barrett's Fusion Flow and Barefoot Cardio on Friday. I've always thought about trying them but for some reason never purchased. I did Barefoot Cardio yesterday and loved it!

That's awesome, Annette! Nice finds. I hear Ellen is hard to come by!

It's moments like those that keep me going to the thrift store

Sure it is...and Ellen is rarely available used so yay for you! I am so glad my pilates friends recommended Ellen and those two you picked up I think are great ones to have!
