Yard Sales: Week 4

Confession: I went a little overboard today.  I went retail shopping this week (with gift cards, of course) and could not believe the prices I saw as compared to what I can usually find at yard sales.  So today when I was out, I found myself saying, "Well if I were to buy this at the store..." As a result, I spent more than I would have otherwise.  I wasn't planning to go out this morning, but when my son was still asleep at 7:30, I decided to run to one in my neighborhood.  I was out for half an hour and ended up going to three sales total, resulting in the following items.

Boys Clothes = $4.00

1. Fleece lined swooshy pants - $1.00, size 2T, these will be good for winter!

2. Green cargo shorts - $1.00, size 2T, so for this summer

3. Striped green T-shirt - $1.00, size 24 months, but it looks plenty long, which is the problem we usually have...

4. Navy dress shorts - $1.00, size 2T, so also for this summer!

Misc Items = $9.75

5. Maternity Denim Shorts - $4.00 These retail at RIDICULOUS prices, so even though they were pretty expensive and much too large, I went ahead and bought them.  My mom can take them in and I'm expecting to get a lot of wear out of them this summer.

6. Crocs - $5.00, size 8 This was my splurge.  I don't normally spend more than $2.00 for used shoes, but these were super cute and in good shape. When I got home, Charlie immediately asked to wear them!

7. 2 Bags Used Crayons - $.75 I am hoping to use these for this project at some point this summer.

Total for Day = $13.75
