Weekend Garage Sale Finds

I had another successful garage saling weekend! The perfect weather and was able to score some fantastic deals! 

Note: When I post about garage saling I usually go to two, maybe three sales a weekend. And usually don't make it out every weekend. We live in a smaller town so there is usually only a few and with two little ones and car seats it is hardly worth driving around loading and unloading, so we walk :o) I just wanted you to know this so you know that there is fantastic deals to be found and you don't have to be an extreme saler to find them!

Here is my score for this weekend...

New snow pants for big brother in size 4-5 and 6-7. I probably didn't need both but they were really nice pants and only $5 each. I would have liked them to be a little less but some neighborhood kids were selling their stuff and so I helped them out without being too cheap.

Snow Gloves for me - $2

Mini Hair Straightener - 75 cents

Blue "Cars" shoes for Little Brother - $1

Red "Cars" shoes for Little Brother - $3 (a bit big still but he loves cars so much we had to get them)

Chuggington Train Set - $1 (Big Brother bought with his own money)

My next haul was from one sale and a great score! 

GeoTrax Train Set - $15 (these things are outrageously expensive! And the boys are having so much fun with this. I wish I had been saling alone and I would have put it away for Christmas.)

And a lot of clothes for me and one Gap Hooded sweatshirt for Big Brother. All $1. 

Gap Shirt - $1

Old Navy Shirt - $1

Banana Republic Jeans - $1

Anne Taylor Loft Shorts - $1 (tag still on for $39!)

Black Shirt - $1

Puma warm ups - $1

Nike Warm Ups - $1

So for $23 we came home with everything in perfect condition and name brand!

Looking forward to what next weekend may bring as garage sales are winding down here in Oregon!

Weekend Garage Sale Finds = SCORE!

I absolutely love going to garage sales. It is the thrill of never knowing just what you might find. I mostly look for kids stuff, well because that's my life. But lately I've been finding great deals on clothing for me too!

We live in a small town so there usually isn't but a handful of sales each weekend. So I usually just load up the boys in the double buggy and we go to any within walking distance. I figure by the time I drive all over town and unload the boys from their car seats and then load them back in it would defeat the whole purpose of going.

Big Brother LOVES garage saleing almost as much as I do, if not more. We have been going together since he was a baby and he always gets to pick out a new toy if we hit a sale with kid stuff. This past Friday we had to travel to his 4 year doctors appointment in the neighboring city where there are endless garage sales. We wouldn't have too much time so I picked out a couple that sounded great on Craigslist and off we went.

The first and only sale we hit was a major score! Kid toys, kid clothes and more more more! I spent a total of $40 for 29 items! Everything was name brand and in excellent condition.
Here is what I came home with...

(for me)

• Hollister Sweatshirt 

• American Eagle Shirt
• Wet Seal Tank Top
• Nike Tank Top
• Book

(for Big Brother)
• 4 pairs of 5T jeans (for next year)
• pair of Carter's Sweatpants
• Quicksilver Hoodie
• 5 pairs of shorts
• 4 T-shirts
• 2 boxes of flash cards
• 4 Transformer Cars
• Word World Movie
• Crayola Magic Finger Paint (not pictured)
• Fisher Price Basketball Hoop

I was able to get numerous 5T items to put away for Big Brother next year and the big find was the basketball hoop for $5! It adjusts up to 6 feet! So averaged out each item was only $1.39! Can you tell how excited I am about it!

I also hit one local sale on Saturday and found four shirts for myself. All name brand and super cute for $1 each!

I'm already starting to panic as garage sale season only has a few good weeks left! It's a long winter waiting for good weather and sales to start back up again, usually not til early June if your lucky!
