Thursday afternoon, on my way home from a couple of appointments, I stopped by Post Hardware on Route 22 East in Bridgewater, just across from the Bridgewater Commons Mall. I needed to get a few bags of salt for the water softener.While approaching the entrance, I noticed the ubiquitous window ads that highlight a revolving selection of sale items which Post Hardware always features. One in particular caught my eyes -- that of an entrance mat.
If you’re in need of a new medium-sized outdoor mat, are environmentally conscious, and always keep an eye out for a good buy, this one may fit your needs. It’s an 18''x30'' decorative mat made in California from materials 100% recycled in the U.S. The non-skid base is made of crumb rubber from old tires.
Ever wonder what happens to the leftover shells when you buy bags of shelled walnuts at the local grocer or at a Costco? In this case, they are ground up and blended into the recycled rubber base to form a non-skid gritty surface. Pretty ingenious. Oh, and the price? The sticker reads $21.99, but it’s being sold for $9.99
