Garage Sales and Thrifting

So this weekend I started out Friday. Found a sign for one garage sale, followed it and found nothing. About to give up especially since it was 2 in the afternoon but seen another sign and decided to check it out. The garage sale was still going on, I passed it up twice but my kids finally seen it and we made a stop. They still had a lot of stuff, nothing I found too interesting though. Spent $2 and got copy of a book called The Oath (still had original price sticker of $12.99 on it) and a movie that I'm sure I haven't seen before.




Saturday morning DH woke me up at 6:45 and said go check out that Moving sale you read about in the paper. Apparently moving sale is a new name for garage sale and these people had every intention of moving their stuff with them at the prices they had marked. Bought nothing.

Saturday afternoon we hit two GW's. The first I had just missed out on buying a set of chairs for $6 - drat. But did get a cute basket thingie with bowls that sit inside. Unfortunately they had seperated the bowls and the basket and sold them seperately and someone had already snatched up two of the bowls. I'll keep my eye out and hopefully one day find two more bowls to go in it. Also one of the ladies that works there had just brought some more stuff out in a buggy and I snatched up this pretty cross with one of the Proverbs on it. Taped to it was this wooded spoon and pinwheel (don't know why). Got DD this Barbie as Rapunzel tape and a soft drink. Spent $7 and change.





Stopped at GW #2 and ended up purchasing this DVD for $3.99 - this cute little bathtub soap holder which I'm going to paint, this picture frame which I'm also going to paint and DH found 2 t-shirts. Spent $9 and change. Also got to hear an interesting conversation about how GW must had forgotten what they are based on their prices lately. I agree.





So my total for this weekend $17 and change.
