garage sale finds.

On Saturday, the hubs and I went garage sale shopping. We went to over 10 garage sales, and wouldn't bother with an item unless they were under $5. We did really well---Overall, we only spent $6! Chyeah! I have to say that at the beginning we were a little discouraged, because we couldn't find any good finds... But by the end of the day, people were pretty much giving their stuff away. A little piece of advice: Go garage sale shopping the last hour they are open. Most of the items will be half off, or else---FREE. Here are our items from the day
earrings: FREE
bag: $0.75
trunk: $0.75
gold plate: $.50
canister: $3.00
polaroid: $1.00 [still had 5 photos left!]

We had so much fun! I think we've found a new hobby :]

  8. I can't believe you spent 6$. Those earrings are super cute, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the trunk :)

    I wish my area would have more garage sales, people around here tend to just donate stuff. Or worse - throw it out!
