My Kind of Bargain!

So I decided to hit up Yard Sales with my mom (Thank heavens she was driving...I would have been lost!)...YES I GOT A LOT OF STUFF! I woke up early in the morning, had a rough start because things were just not working for me, but I still managed to get there early enough to bargain with people. For all of you non-yard sale people...I just have to say, "GET ON IT!" It is great. Here is what you do. Get onto Craigslist.org, look up garage sales, and BOOM there it is. TONS OF THEM! My favorite are the Neighborhood yard sales, they are usually annual, but when you hit them...it is beautiful! For example I got this Pottery Barn Teen (Known as PBTeen.com) Quilt. It is a full/queen size VERY BEAUTIFUL! I looked it up and it is about $200.00 for just the quilt! My mom helped me talk the lady down to would you believe it...$15.00 for the quilt. I AM IN LOVE!

I will be using this for Ember's Bedroom. It is all the perfect colors you could possibly ask for! NEXT...I got Vibram fivefingers. If you haven't heard of these shoes before...THEY ARE WONDERFUL! They retail depending on the kind (Classic, Spring, Kso...etc.) $55 lowest. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! They are suppose to really help your balance. They feel like nothing is on your feet. In fact when I got my first classics, I stepped on a rock expecting it to hurt so I JUMPED....it didn't hurt and all I got was a couple of odd and stupid-like looks. Anyway, The first yard sale we stopped at, I found them...Kso Vibrams, I was expecting them to want at least thirty for them...no...they wanted $1.00...yup...a dollar! SO I TOOK THEM! My size, BEAUTIFUL! Love to hike in them, swim in them, exercise in them...everything!

Last but not least. EDDIE BAUER! A stroller. The lady wanted $30.00 for it, but the awesome Ashley talked her down to $5.00 It is beautiful! I LOVE IT! It is at least worth $60.00 used. (Not that I would sell it for that.) BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL! Eddie Bauer is one of Jason and I's favorite brand. Very sturdy.... Not the same color as this one, but same idea...actually the one I got is even better. I might just have to take a picture of it! Ha ha

So, I got tons of stuff, very cheap....and I will be selling some of the great deals after I get them cleaned up....like the vibrams and the stroller. AWESOME DEALS! I got a Papasan chair for Ember...yes it is pink. for $1.00, clothing for 25cents-$1.00 Max. Down coat $2.00 (Kenneth Cole Reaction) and MUCH MUCH MORE! YARD SALES ARE MY KIND OF BARGAIN!
