Week to Week

I wont be posting as detailed Week to Week posts. They are VERY time consuming and I would rather be spending my time on other projects. However, I still plan on showing you some of the things I LOVE every once in a while! I am in Arizona with a friend this week. Here are my favorite finds this morning!

I bought this antique gold frame for $4 dollars.

I bought this old silver tea set for $7. 

I also bought this geometric mirror for $3 dollars!  

I can't to show you what I am going to do with them!!!

Have a good Saturday!

August 4th 2012

I am a little late on this post and it's past 12:00a.m. so I am going to make this as short as possible. Here is what I found last week!

I got two bags of swim diapers for FREE! I asked the lady how much she wanted for them and she said, "oh, you can take them." SCORE! Swim diapers are something I have never had to buy in the store. I always find them at garage sales. I collect them throughout the year and hold them back for summer.

I also bought this humidifier for $5 dollars. We have one but it's nice to have two just in case both my kids are sick. Here is one that is really similar for $49.99.

I bought this E for .50 cents. I am not sure what I will do with it but I am sure I will figure it out!

Some how all my pans have disappeared! I bought these for .50 cents a piece. They are not great pans but will work till I can find something better.

I bought these little soccer cleats for Jaysa for $1. 

I also bought all of these bubbles for .25 cents a piece. My girls have already had a blast with them.

I found a lot of kids clothes this week.

I spent a total of $12 dollars on the clothes in this picture. I got 2 pairs of shoes, 2 swim suits, 3 outfits (shirt with matching bottom), 2 shirts, a cardigan and a dress!

I also bought a workout tank and a black sweater for me for .50 a piece.

I bought all of these clothes for $11 dollars. I paid $3 for the white GAP jacket and a $1 for everything else except the little gray sweat pants. The lady threw those in free because I showed her that they had a tiny hole in them. They will be perfect play clothes!

I also found a lot of jewelry this week. I spent $10 dollars on 2 bracelets, 5 pair of earrings, 2 rings and a feather hair clip.

I love the colors of these bracelets!

Always love me some feather earrings!

Love these colors too!

OTHER AWESOME DEALS

How cute are these for a little tweens room?! I really like the one with the crown. The lady wanted $4 dollars a pillow but she was willing to go down on them.

I have this exact jungle gym for my girls. I bought it for $15. This one was $10!

This lady was selling her BKE jeans for $3 dollars a piece!

Here is another lady that was selling her brand name jeans for $2 dollars a piece! Garage sales is such a great way to find cute brand name clothes for dirt cheap!

I really liked these barstools and was so tempted to buy them but talked myself out of it. They had three of them and wanted $40 for all of them.

This kids bouncer looked like it had never been used. They lady said she paid over $100 for it and used it once or twice. She was selling it for $35.

This light weight umbrella stroller was $15. Here is almost the same one for $40.

Here are some banana chairs for $10 a piece. They even have the speakers in the sides.

Does anyone know how expensive these snow sleds are? They around $30 dollars!!!! CRAZY! This one was only $3. 

Here is a water jug for camping. They wanted $10 for it which I thought was a little high but worth trying to talk them down to $7.

July 28th 2012

As I posted earlier, Saturday was mine and C.J's 6 year anniversary. Before I start this post I want to say that it was NOT my idea to go garage saleing on our anniversary. I was fully prepared to lay around and be lazy. Going garage saleing was actually C.J.'s idea and let me tell ya, I am not going to complain about it if he wants to go!  Here is what we found this week.

I bought a bunch of handles this week. I think I will be good for the next year to be honest! I got 9 of the drawer pulls and 10 of the knobs for $2 dollars plus the lady threw in this cute green piece of fabric for FREE! It will make a cute wipey case cover! I paid about .10 cents a piece for the handles.

My mom also picked up these handles for me

She got the whole bag for $2 dollars. There are 31 handles so I paid about .06 cents a piece! 

I also picked up this fabric for $1. These colors are so popular right now! I think I will make some bows out of them.

I also bought this blanket for $2. This blanket has a great texture to it and I have been looking for one like it for a while now. Its great to have blankets like these for photography shoots!

My mom picked up these peacock feather for me for .75 cents. I will also be using these for bows

 This is a picture of two different paint sprayers. I took a really big chance on these hoping that maybe one of these would work for me. I really want a paint sprayer but for now I am too cheap to buy one. I bought both of these for $15. I also got the ladies number so if all the parts are not there I can call her to see if they can be found or just take it back to her and get my money back. If your not sure if an item will work and you can't test it out right there at the garage sale ask the seller if they mind if you bring it back if it doesn't work. If they are not ok with it that may be a hint that they are not telling you something!

 C.J. bought this auto tape measure for $2 dollars.

I bought this for our bathroom. I already have one that I was thinking about spray painting a bronze but why do that if you can find exactly what you want at another garage sale! This one was marked at $3 but I talked the lady down to 1.50.

I also bought a few cans of paint from this guy. I bought two gallon cans and two quart sized cans for $2 dollars!! Beats buying paint in the store!

 

Alright so here is the Deal of the Day. I did not buy this. I went to go visit a friend and she took me to her sons room and showed me this Love Sac she bought at a garage sale a few days earlier. You will never guess how much she paid for it! I couldn't believe it. I usually see these for between $100-$200 at garage sales. The cheapest I have even seen one for is $80. She bought this on for $25! She took the cover off and washed it and it look brand new! This was a STEAL!

OTHER AWESOME DEALS

This highchair was spotless! The seller wanted $20 for it.

 I wish I would have tried to talk the lady down on these. She wanted $15 for the big one. After seeing that I just kinda walked away cause I thought it was too expensive but these would have been so cute all painted the same color! I am really kicking myself in the bum right now! 

 Here are boxes and boxes of liquid nails. They wanted $2 a piece for the tubes. They are about $4 in the store. She was also willing to make a better deal if you bought a bunch.

 Ok here is something I was a little mad about. I just bought C.J. one of these. I paid $38 dollars for it. Here is one that is really similar for $10! And it still had all the tags on it!!! Thank goodness when I showed him he said he wanted one with smaller water bottles so we ended up taking the one I bought back to the store anyway.

 How cute are these! $5 for the set.

 Here is a bookshelf for all the kids books or whatever else you want to use it for. It was only $5!

 C.J. loves this style of couch. I think in the right setting, possibly a western office it would look great. We looked at these at a furniture store near our house because C.J. liked them so much. They were several hundred dollars. This one was only $30! I have a feeling later on down the road when C.J. has an office he will regret not buying it but we just don't have the space right now.

 This box of oval frames was $5 dollars. This would have made a really cool wall collage 

I loved this entry way table. When I asked how much the lady wanted she said "I think I will start it out at $100" This means if it wasn't selling fast enough she would be willing to go down on it! 

 Check out the price tag on the back of it! $279.97! 

 My girls would have so much fun on this John Deer tractor! It had all the parts and the battery was charged. The seller wanted $40 for it, which I am sure is a fair price but I am just still too cheap. :( 

Here is something I really want! I used to have a motorcycle in college that was exactly like this one but a different color. I paid 3,500 for mine new (I will never buy any sort of vehicle or motorcycle new again because they depreciate the second you drive them off the lot. That was a hard lesson to learn) A few years later I sold it for about 1,800. These days I have really been missing the ride and have been wanting another motorcycle. This one is only 1,000. I Kelly Blue booked it and the cheapest one that was the same year and had higher miles was 1,200. I want it! We will see what the husband says!
