Don't you just love yard sales? I love 'em!
This past weekend (yeah I am a little slow on the move this week with posting stuff due to a killer sinus infection) my mom and I jumped into my SUV and headed out in search of deals. And oh boy, did we find deals! I give this past weekend's adventure a big thumbs up.
Here's what I scored:
- 2 kids' lacrosse sticks, $1
- Kids' rain boots with adorable frogs, $1
- Pictionary game (yes, all the pieces are still in it!), $2
- Scruples game, $1
- 2 cases of Kinex, $5
- 1 bucket of Legos, $3
- NIP (that's new in package) My Little Pony figure, $1
- NIP My Little Pony sticker kit, $1
- 3 brand new Disney Princess book, 75 cents
- 1 slightly used book about going to kindergarten, 25 cents
*Not pictured...NIP Disney's Peter Pan action figure playset, $1 (son immediately confiscated and took to his room and has not been seen since...must be in a special, secret spot...LOL)
TOTAL SPENT = $17
I was stoked to find the games because another couple and us started a monthly game night. Brand new games run $20-30 so...wow! Every mom knows Kinex and Legos brand new will rob ya blind. And yes you are correct, we only have one child in our family and he's a boy. But we always hunt for NIP items to put away in our gift closet for birthday parties to come.
My mom was on a mission for slightly different goodies, since she has 2 teenagers at home. She scored several pieces of Abercrombie & Fitch clothing for $1 a piece. There was also some very cheap Hollister to be had. Seriously. I was in complete denial, because those stores are uber-spendy! We visited some really nice neighborhoods that had community-wide and multi-family yard sales. Very worth it.
So how about you? Had any great yard sale finds recently?

I love yard sales! I've only seen a couple so far this year in my neck of the woods but I also love thrift stores. I always look for the brand name stuff. You can't beat the price.
