Someone's Trash is My Treasure

Yes friends, it is GARAGE SALE season! I must confess that I was not a big lover of garage sales or anything even remotely related to second-hand shopping when I was growing-up. It must have bothered my mother because all I really wanted was crisp new brand name clothes purchased only from the best stores. Well, I am an adult now and understand more clearly the value of a dollar. I can buy BRAND NAME clothes from Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross and not have to break the bank doing it. Last week I bought a pair of Jones New York Jeans that were originally $98 for $19 at Ross. A great deal right?! Well, nothing beats the deals I got at some garage sales this past weekend...

GUESS Jeans:
retail price $75-$135
garage sale price $3


Ann Taylor Hoodie-Top:
retail price $40 - $55
garage sale price $0.50


Disorderly Kids Coat:
retail price $25 - $45
garage sale price $0.50

Barbie "Jam With Me" Guitar/Head Set Microphone
retail price $99
garage sale $3

I bought a few other things too but I just wanted to share some of my great finds with you. Keep an eye open for an upcoming blog video of Maya jamming on her guitar.

I'm thinking that I should bring down an exta suitcase with nothing in it, for my garage sale buys. I love going to garage sales. Problem will be this time that I won't be able to take some of the bigger items home with me (if there are any bigger items that interest me). I really like the checkered coat. Really nice! ONLY 38 MORE DAYS!

Score! Gotta love those deals! Mikayla would so love that guitar. She already has a microphone, so maybe the girls could start a band? Wouldn't it be fun to get a big group and go garage-saleing ALL DAY LONG!
