so what does a woman do in a major national financial crisis....well she goes shopping of course. My favorite store??? Well your garage sale. Reuse, Recycle. On a recent trip to visit the folks i went on an excursion with my mom and we found some incredible buys and now ive got the fever. Its amazing what you can find at a yard sale. You get something you need at an incredibly cheap price PLUS your helping your environment by reusing/recycling someone elses junk. I told the hubby that between yard sales, consignment shops, and really good sales at our favorite department stores there is NEVER a reason to buy anything full price. *although some items like a good car seat for your child you should never buy used.
Some of my favorite buys are the bouncer we bought for the bunny for $10. It is in brand new condition. I bought two awesome picture frames for 50 cents a piece. I bought a beveled mirror for $10. I found a wire bakers rack for $4.
Its been fun and inexpensive. The frames are such a great buy, ive found a few more. You all know how crazy expensive picture frames can be too.
You can also find great, barely used cheap toys for the kiddies....like the golf set for $3 i bought the wolverine. All those yucky, plastic toys that people buy for $40-50 end up in their garage sales....kitchens, cars, workbenches. Im still on the hunt for a couple of bookshelves.
The real fun is in finding the unexpected. If anyone out there likes the hunt you can always join me. Its my way of stretching our dollar and keeping things from being sent to a landfill all rolled up in one.
