Garage Sale

I have been getting ready for a garage sale all day and yesterday too.  We are having a three day sale.

I found Money Saving Mom's 10 Tips for Having a Successful Garage Sale to be very helpful.  The kids will be selling water and soda and tomorrow night I will make cookies to sell too.

I will be busy the next three days but if you stop by, go ahead and leave me your best garage sale tip!  I told myself that 5 years ago when I had my last garage sale (at my house) that I would never do it again but we would like some more vacation money so we will see how it goes!


 

I Love Garage Sales!

I just love garage sale season. Today a friend called me to go to the park, but she said she was at a community garage sale. I wasn't even off of the phone with her and I was running around getting my shoes on and trying to get the kids' stuff together. I told her I would be right there.

It was a really nice neighborhood. I love garage sales in really nice neighborhoods! Of course, the prices are a little higher than I would normally pay. But, their stuff is also a lot nicer. I had decided a while back that I would only try to buy actual outfits or sets. So today, I definitely did that. Except I did buy my son some jean shorts because he needed them (picture not included). So I ended up spending roughly $15.00 for 4 outfits. It is a little higher than I normally would go, but these were complete outfits - two of which are from Gymboree. Again, I love garage sales!
