$52.50

Today was a great day for yard selling! We got in four good hours before the rain started and boy, did we get some AWESOME deals! Enjoy!



$4.00 - a soccer goal and a toy chest for B. B loves to play outside, and the soccer goal will be a great addition to our outdoor toys!



$3.00 - Four Barney books, two Sesame Street books, two James Patterson books (for hubby) and a cookbook for me. We are all about Barney and Play with Me, Sesame at our house these days! B loves the books already!



$2.50 - Seven DVD's, including We are Soldiers with Mel Gibson, a Baby Einstein DVD, a Mommy and Me DVD and four Baby Prodigy DVD's. 'Cause I'm raising a child prodigy, you know. :-)



$5.00 - A very nice mirror that needs no work at all. Just need to figure out where I am going to hang it!



$22.00 - A huge bag full of baby girl clothes and a few maternity things for me. Can I just tell you, baby girl clothes are so much harder to resist that baby boy clothes! All of the clothes I got were name-brand clothes like Gymboree, Carter's, Children's Place, etc. Quite frankly, places I've never shopped in my life - I can't stand to pay retail prices for kids clothes when I can get them at yard sales for next to nothing!



$1.00 - An entire box of like-new books for B. Wow! I counted, and there are 57 books in this box. They are all Disney (Mickey Mouse and friends, Winnie the Pooh) and a series called Child's World. All of those books are lessons about different things like colors, shapes, months of the year, etc. And I got the entire box for $1.00!! That equals out to 1.7 cents each!! And they are seriously like-new - no tears or markings in them or anything! I am stoked!!

And my very best deal of the day...


$15.00 - An entire Christmas Village. Seriously, you ask? Yes, seriously! There were 45 "big" pieces (houses, churches, schools, post offices, general stores, etc.) and two boxes of "little" pieces (decorational items like people, cars, etc). All of it for $15.00!! That could be the deal of the summer!! It equals out to 33 cents per "big" piece. Can you belive that?? It's craziness!!

All in all, not a bad day if I do say so myself!! If the weather holds out, we plan on having our annual yard sale at Mom's house next weekend, so come out and get some great deals!! We price it cheap and will most often negotiate!!
