Tim’s *NEW* Sausage Breakfast Wrap

So, I finally got around to buying my second item to put into my blog. Looks like Linkin Park’s CD got 6 Treasure votes and 0 Trash votes. Let see how this next purchase pans out.

It is the *NEW* breakfast wrap from Tim Horton’s (Everyone knows Tim Horton’s right??).

Sausage Breakfast Wrap                               Cost $1.99

The initial thing that caught my attention was the price. For $1.99, you get a whole wheat wrap, filled with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty cut in half and some...sauce – pretty sweet deal.

I wasn’t overly impressed with the wrap. Because the sausage patty is pretty big, it didn’t wrap very tight and all the eggs fell out when I went to take my first bite. Sigh. I re-wrapped it and continued. I wasn’t particularly fond of the sauce flavour. Don’t ask me what it was, I couldn’t tell you – probably a spicy ranch of some sort. I didn’t like the taste of the wrap either; I much prefer the tea biscuit or English muffin to hold it together.

Overall, I consider this a trash buy. I’ll likely never get it again and will probably stick with the breakfast sandwiches for 0.50 cents more.

My First Purchase/Item

I didn’t get around to doing any shopping this weekend, so I will just use my latest purchase as my first item for Treasure or Trash. The item:

Audio CD – Linkin Park – A Thousand Suns                            Cost $12.99

As a fan of this band for close to a decade, there was no doubt I was buying this CD. But then, I started reading reviews (it was released early online) and fans weren’t too pleased with the CD. Linkin Park has changed its sound as the band grows and evolves. As a loyal fan, it didn’t matter what the reviews were, I went out and purchased it. After a few listents to the CD, I definately think it was a Treasure purchase.

So, blog readers, this is your chance to vote Treasure or Trash.

Reasons you may vote Treasure
1. You like the band/music
2. You don’t agree with illegally downloading music
3. It was a good price
4. You'll listen to it for years to come

Reasons you may vote Trash
1. You don’t like the band/music
2. You'll get bored of it when a new CD comes out
3. You think CDs are extinct
4. It was overpriced

The criteria you use to vote is up to you!! Please leave a comment below your vote, age and gender. Thanks!

What My Blog is All About

First of all, this blog has nothing to do garage sales. A garage sale, however, is what inspired me to create this blog. Our family had our last garage sale of the season last weekend and I couldn’t help but notice some of the items we were selling. Some items were 10-15 years old. We had used these items to our content and were ready to pass them onto other families. Some items, however, were less than a year old. What drove us to purchase an item and then sell it less than a year later? Maybe it was an impulse buy? Maybe we found a better item that did the job better?

So what I’m going to do it post my purchases over the next month in this blog along with reasons for making that purchase and you – the readers – will vote on whether you think it was a good decision to buy that item. You’ll vote by leaving a comment and saying “treasure” or “trash”. Treasure -meaning you think it was a good purchase and Trash - meaning you think it was a bad purchase. The criteria you use to make the decision is up to you! Also, when leaving a comment, please post your gender and age.

Once this blog gains popularity (which I hope it does!) I will summarize readers’ comments and post the results in a blog entry. So come back soon and watch for my first purchase!
