The Great Bargain Hunt
Mindy considers herself an expert when it comes to her primary hobby - shopping. This past weekend, she surprised even herself with her prowess on the garage-sale circuit. In just six stops in her hometown, Mindy was able to find the perfect gifts for her favorite sorority sisters (one of whom is named Paulina). In recounting her successful excursion to her boyfriend, Mindy had trouble remembering where she got each priceless treasure. Can you help her match the street where she made each purchase with the gift she found there (including a fondue pot) and who it was for?Clues:
- Manahassett Drive (where Mindy picked up either the purple beanbag chair or the ukulele) isn't where she found a gift for Caitlin.
- Cooper Road is where Mindy bought either the velvet Elvis painting or the gift for Jodi.
- On Bayard Avenue, Mindy bought either the green Naugahyde recliner or a present for Caitlin.
- Mindy haggled like a pro for a vintage lava lamp that she plans to give to Michaela.
- Mindy got Brianna's gift on either Fieldview Drive or Bayard Avenue.
- The garage sale on Shore Haven Avenue (where Mindy bought either the velvet Elvis or the ukulele) didn't yield a gift for Kathy or Caitlin.
- On Grand Avenue, Mindy bought either the recliner or the beanbag chair.
