The Great Garage Sale: Baby Stuff Galore

The majority of the items that I bought when I was at the garage sales were for the baby.  I got several onesies, bibs, and other little outfits for between $.25 and $1.00 each.  I probably spent about $12.00- $15.00 total on baby clothes.  Off the top of my head, I got at least 4 sleepers, 8 onesies, 2 hats, 2 bibs, a jean jacket, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 fleece zip-up sweaters, and the cutest pair of boots in the world!

Total Spent: $1.00

Total Spent: $3.00

Total Spent: $.25 each

My momma was looking for a spare Pack-N-Play for all her grand-babies.  She already has one but decided it might be a good idea to get another spare.  Guess what?  I found one at the garage sale!

Total Spent: $20.00

It has definitely been used but with a good wash down and a new cover for the mat, it will be good to go! I would have to say that it was all money well spent!

The Great Garage Sale: Items for the Nursery

I ended up getting some super cute curtains for the nursery when I was hitting the garage sales last weekend.

Total Spent: $3.00

These curtains match the nursery perfectly!  They are from JCPenney, so I am sure they were orignally much more than the $3.00 that they cost me!  My HHBL even ended up liking them, and he normally hates curtains! 

Total Spent: $1.00

This little basket is being used right now to hold the baby's barrettes and head bands.  It was too cute to pass up! 

Can you see a theme?  There seems to be a lot of pink going on in the nursery!

The Great Garage Sale

This past Friday, I took off work to hit up some garage sales.  A co-worker took me to Rossville Indiana which is a small, quaint town of about 1500 people.  It was the town's Summers End Festival, and the town was packed with garage sales.  I had so much fun and got so many great deals!  My only regret is that we didn't reserve a golf cart to ride around the town.  Most people use the golf carts to prevent all the congestion from the cars. 

Over the next couple weeks, I am going to chronicle all the great deals I got.

Exhibit A

Total Spent: $.50

This little bread pan makes the most adorable loaves of bread.  I had to rush home and make zucchini bread to try it out.

The pan makes the perfect personal size bread loaf!  Don't these look yummy?  Believe me, they are!

Frugalista Shopping, Week of May 23

Today, I made my typical stops at CVS and Walgreens.  I was spoiled the last two weekends since I got to do my shopping with my big sis Gal.  This week, however, my HHBL was along for the ride.  In many ways, my HHBL is worse than taking a child shopping.  I always feel rushed when he is with me, and his questions were starting to get on my nerves.  "Do we REALLY need another thing of toothpaste?"  "I'm thirsty, I need a Coke." "If we hurry, we can be home by 3:15."  Anyways, I made it through it and came out with a few good deals.

Here is the breakdown:
