I LOVE Yard Sales!

 

I had the best time hitting the yard sales today.  My youngest DD and I hit the road about 6:45 this morning!

 

We found some really great deals today.   I was looking for pants for her, gardening things for me, always looking for books (what homeschooler isn't?) and I always keep my eye out for good bargains.

 

We didn't luck up on any pants for dd but I did get two small racks for .50 a piece, each rack has three little pots in each to start herbs on the window sill  ...   I found an Introductory Algebra textbook that looks like its never been cracked for $1.00.  The deal of the day is a Baby Crib.  One of my dearest friends is expecting and she's been looking for a crib.  The used ones she's found so far have just not been in good shape.  I found a beautiful Honey Oak Crib that looks like they set it up,  looked at it and took it down. It actually was bought to be used at "grandmas" house and it just didn't get much use. This crib sold new for at least $200...I got it for..okay are you ready for this......... $15.   When I showed up at my friends house she almost fainted when she saw it.  All she could say was "It's so beautiful"  "I just can't believe you only paid fifteen dollars for it!"

All in all I spent about $20 today...and I was reimbursed the $15 for the crib!

Oh and one more good deal,  I found a winter coat for baby Matthew for $1.  Its a really nice heavy coat and it looks like it was hardly worn.  Its a Carolina Panthers coat and these type coats are pricey even for the toddler sizes so I came out really good there too. Of course his folks being the sports fans that they are liked it too!

 

I Love Yard Sales!

 

Looking forward to next Saturday!!

Not only does it make your day when you find a bargain like that, it makes your whole week! You can't beat a good yard sale. We call them "garage sales" down here in Oz. Sounds like your daughter enjoys them too.
