Apparently around here Thursdays and Fridays are the best garage sale shopping days!
(I just find that so weird!)
So, this morning, the kids and I headed out to a sale - and were happily surprised to find that it was part of a neighborhood sale!
Hooray for multiple garage sales in a small area!
Here's what we got at a few of them:
Scrabble game - $1
I'm not going to be playing the game - instead I'll use some of the letters as part of Tot School and some for making tile pendants! And I know I've seen some kind of craft using the board...I'll have to search for that.
...not sure what to do with the tile holders....any ideas?!
*
4-drawer bin - $2 - will be used for small crafty things,
letter sorter - $1 - will be used for organizing Tot School weekly "lessons",
and 2 baby dolls that move and make baby noises - $2 for both
*
Large Mohawk area rug (8 x 10?)- $25,
365 Science activities book - $3
*
Then we headed over to another sale we saw on the way to the first one.
It turned out to be an estate sale - not sure what the story is there - It looked like the "evicted tenants left all their things" situation, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, I found some good containers to use for our crafts and Tot School for ubber cheap plus several partial packs of pull-ups (odd, but they were obviously clean and from a non-smoking home, so why not?)
I got all the following for $6.00

Oh how I wish we had a truck!
Soooo many of these sales have furniture priced ridiculously cheap!!!
...and we're still needing couches for the basement and a table for my craft room, but no way to get them home :( ...

Great finds again! Garage Sales are wrapping up here.
ReplyDeleteYou can always ask the homeowners for help if you don't live too far and it looks like they might have a truck. I know I'd be willing to help move a couch if someone bought it from me...just an idea. Love your posts!
ReplyDeleteNow that is some good bargains you got!! We're having a HUGE 5 family garage sale in the morning. Like I'm not busy enough right now. My poor blog life has gone south this week!
