Garage Sale Finds!

I am usually not a big fan of Garage Sales, since it usually seems like you just end up coming home with junk that you don't need!

But every June, our town has a town-wide Garage Sale day. Anyone who wants to participate, can sign up at one of the local realtor offices, and their address will get put on a list of Garage Sales, that anyone can pick up at various spots around town. Then on that day, there are a bunch of Garage Sales, so a bunch of people come out!

So today we decided to go out and see what we could find! My first finds were an exersaucer, and a swing, for the new baby!! We only paid $10 each for them, and they are very nice and in great condition!! It was a steal!! Actually at a few sales later, we found the SAME swing, and they were asking $70 for it!

We warned Jade before we went, that she probably wouldn't be getting anything. She has so much stuff, and we were looking for specific things, so we weren't going to waste money on junk she doesn't need. BUT we did find a whole stack of Magic Treehouse books, which is a series that she absolutely LOVES!! They were only $1 each, so we picked out the 12 that she didn't already have, and got them for $10!

We also got a new computer desk, a Diego chair, and a few other small things.

All in all, it was a good day! :)
