Here's is what we got this week!
5 frames for $3, which makes them .60 cents a piece. I am going to mod podge scrapbook paper on these and put them in my girls rooms.
Antique high chair-$15. I will be repainting this and doing a photo session with it!
Easter is almost here!
I bought these for .50 cents a piece. I can't decide if I want to roll them in glitter or leave them the way they are. Everything looks better in glitter right?
Easter eggs and pink grass-.25 cents
Last year we came home from a little vacation the night before Easter. I didn't have time to get baskets ready before I left so at 2:00 a.m. I ran to Walmart to get stuff to fill my girls baskets. By that time everything was 50% off so I thought I was getting a pretty good deal but when I got up to the checkout stand my total was $30! I couldn't believe how much it cost to fill a little 10 inch diameter Easter basket! This year I have learned my lesson and I am collecting little things so that all I have to buy is candy!
Decorative Tile
C.J. and I want to redo all the bathrooms in our house. The guy selling these said he had about 90 of these decorative tile bars. He paid about $4 a tile for them. He wanted $25 for all of them which is a great deal. I was able to talk him down to $20, which means I would be getting each tile for .22 cents a piece! But C.J. was not sure he liked the tiles so I got his number and took a tile home with me so we could compare it to the other tiles we would be using in the bathrooms.
When you are redoing bathrooms and kitchen back splashes decorative tiles are fun and beautiful but they can seriously drive up the price of your renovation. If you can find decorative tiles you like at garage sales go for it! It will save you a lot of money in the long run!
brass candle holders- 1.50 a piece. I am helping a friend decorate her nursery so my plan is to spray paint these and put a pink candle on them and hopefully use them in her nursery!
size 6 little girls shoes for Paisley to grow into- .25 cents!
Bunch of baby clothes for my girls- .25 cents a piece
Pink and black zebra sweater for Jaysa- $1
two bags of floral foam- .25 cents for both of them. 12.5 cents a piece!
10 mason jars- .10 cents a piece. Total- $1 I have a plan for these!
New light fixture- $4. Here is the same one but just in a silver for $24 at Walmart.com

standing hand towel holder- .50 cents. We are going to redo our master bath and may be adding in some medicine cabinets which means I wont have a ring to hold my hand towel. This is an easy fix to that problem!

bread box- $3 I almost bought this. It was so cute!
floor stand lamps- $5
HUGE gate. This lady wanted $50 for this which is WAY to high but the reason I am putting it on the blog is because my mom bought one just like this for $1 a few years ago! GREAT DEAL!

Coat hanger...

Nintendo DS -$40
Looks like it was hardly used.
Ok here is something I am a little bitter about.
I LOVED these and wanted to buy them SOOOOO bad. I had plans for them to be the gate going around my garden. They wanted $15 a piece for them. If I was just buying one that would have been fine but I needed for like 8 or nine of them, which really starts to add up. I decided to take a chance and leave them and then come back after I was done with my route and see if they would take a lower offer.... They were all GONE! I was so sad. These would have been perfect for my garden! Sometimes you just have to take the chance of leaving something behind and sometimes it works out to your advantage and sometimes it doesn't. This time it didn't and I don't know if I will ever find anything else like this again.
Dog kennel- $20
cute pot- $1
Baby changing table-$20! This would have been so cute painted but it was already sold!
Brand new kids P.J's-$1
T.V. for $1! I know these are old dinasours by now but for a new wed couple that doesn't have anything this would have been a great deal. I keep one of these old T.V.'s in my kids playroom so they can watch all the Disney VHS movies I have bought them at garage sales for .50 cents a piece. Beats buying them on DVD! I would have spent hundreds trying to get them all on DVD.
Barney DVD's- $2 a piece
Baby swing in great condition-$50
Does anyone collect these little Christmas village houses? I have a friend that does. The lady had three tables full of these and wanted $10 a piece. I think she would have gone down on them too cause it was pretty late in the day!
Crystal candle holders- $1 a piece. I just bought some at D.I. for 1.5o. I over paid!
5 boxes of laminate wood flooring- $15 a box.
Here is something else I really wanted to buy. We want to redo all the bathrooms in our house. This antique dresser has been converted into a bathroom vanity. How cute would this be in my girls bathroom painted white with crystal knobs! It didn't sell so I got the ladies number and I am trying to talk her down right now. We will see!
