I'm a sucker for garage sales and finding good deals on things. We live in a decent area and people in the surrounding neighborhoods sell nice stuff for CHEAP. Cory hates it and makes fun of me by calling me a hoarder. He really knows what buttons to push because I truly hate crap lying around the house and if something doesn't have a place then it's sent to Goodwill right away. My aunt and uncle sold their house and had a garage sale today with my 2 cousins. They were selling some pretty good stuff. I scored a JEEP single jogging stroller and all this stuff for $36:
- Silk daffodil plant
- 2 baby dolls and one carrier. One is a boy Cabbage Patch Kid and that's going over big in our house right now. We don't have any boy baby dolls.
- Big Elmo Board book
- DVDs unopened--The Holiday (one of my faves) & Shallow Hal
- 2 amazing kids books--Adventures of Frog & Toad (hardback) and Sideways Stories at Wayside School--one of the best kids books ever written. Can't wait to read it to the girls at bedtime, one chapter a night.
- 2 Nike golf shirts for Cory
- Hannah Montana night light and rock star wall decals for Campbell
- Mega Bloks school bus
- Ceramic pears & apple for decor (I'm kind of a fan of fake fruit)
I really hope my husband will stop teasing me because I think I got some pretty good stuff today for around 30 bucks.

I LOVE garage sales. Mike used to make funny of me until I started explaining to him how much we are saving! We have saved hundreds of dollars on Debby's clothes and so much on furniture. The Duggars say "Buy used and save the difference." I've totally adopted that as well!
Someone once asked me if my house was totally gross and mismatched because I bought everything at yard sales and thrift stores (nice question, right?!) but then she was shocked when she came over and saw how nice it was!
Ha! I love it! I totally need to get out and go garage sale-ing! :) Every time I buy a book at Barnes & Noble full price, I cringe..used is the way to go for sure! Nice score!
