i freaking love garage sales.
yeah, they can be skeezy & weird, but they can also be totally awesome. mostly i love a good deal. & we're now buying for 3 kids who grow ridiculously fast, i really hate paying full price for anything. so i really love garage sales.
our neighborhood had a sub-wide garage sale this morning, & my mom & i went our & hunted for kids stuff. i was looking for a play gym (a big one) for the boys, which i didn't find, (ok, i did find one, but they wanted $75!!! no way. some people seriously overprice their junk.) but i did find a bunch of brand new girls' clothes from a neighbor with twin girls for emma (at least 10 outfits, all NEW, altho they're mostly big sizes for this fall) & a TON of toys for the guys-- a train, a really cool block set, a giant tub of duplos, a "band kit" (drums, etc), a hammer & bench set, a talking phone, & some clothes. & i got all of it for under $10. & this stuff looks like it's never been used. i love it.
sometimes the sales are a bust, but today we rocked it & i feel like we might as well have stolen this stuff, it was so cheap.
i just finished disinfecting all the toys & am now totally psyched for the dudes to wake up & see their new haul. sometimes i think i love new toys as much as they do :)
Sounds like a great haul kate!
ReplyDeleteI just did this like 6 weeks ago. 2 weekends in a row I lugged baby K out at 7am in Daddy's truck out searching for new outside toys. We scored a mini jungle gym, a seperate slide, an electric car (hummer), some push trucks, pool toys and a couple new indoor toys for like $25.
