I LOVE yard sales!
Thanks to Tish, she has shown me the ropes, helped me learn a good deal from a bad one, shown me that used clothing for my kiddo's is the way to go. Heck, now that I have become a little addicted to yard sales it almost pains me to pay full price, especially for Hallie's clothes, because the girl is so dang hard on her clothes. I don't have to feel bad if she wears a pair of jeans 4 or 5 times and then has holes in them because I only paid a dollar for them to begin with, so no big loss! Woot!
I love the thrill of finding a good deal. The really good deals are very memorable and get talked about over and over, like last year when I got a fisher price cradle swing (looked brand new) for $7.50!! Or when Tish found a brand new never used pampered chef stone set that was easily worth $70, I think she paid less than $5!
Last Saturday was AWESOME! It was the first time this year that the weather was really good and there were plenty of sales to go too. Ahhhhh, another marker for spring and yard sale'ing season, NICE WEATHER! I have waited all winter for this time of year and now that it is finally here, I can hardly wait all week for Saturday morning so I can go out and find the perfect awesome deal!
So, want to see what $20 got me last week?
$15 for this super cute organizer! I am using it to store my diapers in, it is PERFECT! I have been trying to figure out a good storage solution for a while now and this is exactly what I needed!
.50 cents for a dozen flat fold diapers that had never even been washed, I also got a cute shirt for Addy and a pair of pants for Hallie (not pictured) all for less than a dollar!
$2 for the salad spinner, $1 for the chopper, that was brand new in the box -NEVER USED! .50 cents for the tea kettle and I think I paid a quarter for the basket.
SWEET! Yep, I love yard sales!

You're taking me next time right!?!??!!? I soooo want to go!! oh and we need to do Addy's pictures this week!
We have holes in the knees of the jeans problems too. I pulled out the old D.I. card today and got Lizzy two new pairs of really cute jeans for $6.
What finds! I have horrible luck with yard sales. After a few years I talk myself into trying again, go to several, and find nada! Then it's another few years before I decide to go again. Way to go!
Great deals...maybe I need to start yard sale shopping with you. We're in the market for bunk beds.
Sweet! Those are some great finds!
