Yard Sales: Week 3

I made a good haul this week in town with my friend Jen.  Our favorite part of the day (not) was getting yelled at by a crotchety old lady for blocking her driveway.  Seriously - I parked halfway in front of her driveway for two minutes at the very most while Jen ran to the sale next door.  I did not get out of my car.  This woman opened her garage door to come out and tell us not to block her driveway.  I told her we were leaving, and then she went back into her house and closed the garage door.  Seriously?  Was it really worth a trip out of your house, opening the garage door, yelling, and then going back into your house and shutting the garage door?  I can understand being irritated if you were trying to back out and your driveway was blocked, but let's get real!

Anyway, aside from that, I had a great day!  Instead of breaking them into sales, I broke them into categories:

Boys Summer Clothes = $1.00
1-2. Button-up short-sleeved shirts - $.25/per, size 3T, so for next summer!
3. Old Navy t-shirt - $.25, size 2T
4. Good, heavy jean shorts - $.25, size 2T

Boy's Bottoms = $5.00
5. Dark Jeans - $1.00, size 4T.  These are super cool with holes in them.  My husband is a fan.
6. Cool fleece-lined jeans - $2.00 These were rather expensive, but the fleece lining is so nice for playing outside in the cold, so I went with it.
7. Light Jeans - $1.00, size 4T.  These are also super stylish!
8. Khaki shorts - $1.00, size 2T, so shorts we can wear these now!

Maternity Clothes = $4.50
 9-10. Maternity Dresses - $.50/per I got these at the sale of my friend Caroline (who blogs here) and she was slashing prices after two days.  I was so excited about these, since I will be getting big over the summer.  These will be soooo nice!
11. Floral Dress - $1.00 This is not a maternity dress, but the skirt is so full I think I can wear it for quite awhile.
12. Long-sleeved maternity shirt - $1.00 I may regret this...it's too big but I was hoping my mom cantake it in a little.  I borrowed nearly everything for my first pregnancy and all of those friends are pregnant now, so there's no borrowing again :(  I really need clothes I can wear to work, and if we can adjust this one, I think it will work.  If not, it was a waste of $1.00.
13. Short-sleeved maternity top - $.50 I also got this one from Caroline and it will be a great one for summer.
14-15. Maternity swimming suits - $.50/per My last purchases from Caroline's sales.  I was just looking at some online last night (we plan to spend a lot of time at the pool this summer) and they are SOOOOO expensive!  The ones I was looking at at OldNavy.com were $25 for the top and $19 for the bottoms.  If I went with those prices, I saved myself $88!  I am excited to try these out this summer!

I also picked up a few things for my nieces, but I dropped them off before I came home.  I think I spent $2.50 on a night gown and two shirts, so:

Total for Day = $13.00!
