One of our family's favorite "dates" is to go to yard-sales on Saturday mornings. Being the cheapie that I am, I've always loved it but it took a while to convince my husband. He was won over on a random outing where we found a solid oak roll-top desk for $50 (still sold online for $1,600)...his dad had always wanted a roll-top desk. We gave him his "Christmas gift" early that year and scored extra points with the in-laws.
The babies get more and more excited every weekend. Once they discovered that the toys they had wanted and worked and saved for were much, much cheaper if someone else owned them first, they were convinced. How many folks kids wake up at 6:30 am on Saturday and say "Yay!"?
Today's finds include:
30 gig ipod classic: $1 (ERIC IS THE YARD SALE KING TODAY!)
Baby Blue Top-Sider Sperry's: $3
Dooney and Bourke Key Fob: $.50
Brighton Watch: $1
Baby Stroller (for the pregnancy center!): $1
Brand new tennis shoes for Seth to grow into to: $1
Philips, Craig and Dean CD (for Mama, it's my favorite): $1
Seth bought a car machine/garage thingie: $2
Seth bought a pair of binoculars: $.50 - he talked them down from $3!
Mikayla bought a pink VW Beetle replica: $.25 - she asked for a discount when they wanted $.50!
Total Spent: $11.25
Total Value: approx. $350
Not too bad!
