Saturday Garage Sale Finds

This morning after my daughter's very first rec ballet class (it was a surprise...she was soooooo excited), we saw a few signs for garage sales on the way home.  We always love to drive by and see what we can find.  I'm always on the look out for cheap clothes for my girls, even if it's to grow into.

We stopped by a couple with no luck, so we headed toward home.  When we turned down our road, I saw two signs advertising sales on the next street down, so I drove on to check them out and I'm so very glad that I did.

At the first I found a blue jean skirt ($2) for myself, and at the second, a mere two houses down the street, there was a ton of clothes my oldest daughter's size for sale.  Of course, she started shopping on the other side of the lawn, and before we'd been there 30 seconds she had rounded up a whole herd of My Little Ponies.  They happen to be her new obsession, as well as our dogs preferred chew toy...so at 10 cents a piece I said she could get them all.

Here are the things we got.  The girls jeans were 50 cents each (they are a size too big, so I won't be caught off guard when she has a growth spurt), and the shirts were 25 cents each (these should fit her now).  I paid $5.50 total for everything pictured.

There were only 7 ponies we bought today but somehow one of her own got into the picture....the white one with purple hair....well it started off as a unicorn (her other obsession, along with ballet....) but the dog chewed its horn off. =(  She's been given strict orders not to leave these on the floor!  Her Princess Celestia from McDonalds got her whole face chewed off....


Did you go to any garage sales this week?  If so, did you find anything?  What is the one thing you are always on the lookout for?
