Yard Sale 2013: Week 1

This week I went with some friends to a major neighborhood sale.  I had yoga at church at 9, which meant I only had about two hours to really hit the sales.  This being my first week of the season, I went a bit overboard, but I'm not worrying too much about it because I saved so much on grocery from last week!

1.Thomas the Train PJs - $1 My son LOVES Thomas the Train. It's how we've gotten him in the habit of "making water" in the potty - he has a sticker chart and he gets a train each time he gets 5 stickers.  So I was pretty excited when I saw these.  They were size 4T, in great shape, and they fit perfectly!
2. Mr. Potato Head - $2 To my knowledge, my son has never played with a Mr. Potato Head, but I thought he would LOVE it.  Sure enough, when I got it home, he played with it for over an hour STRAIGHT!

3. Adorable 12-month outfit - $2 This is something I normally wouldn't buy.  My target price for clothes is $.25 per, and I will usually go for $.50 if I really like it, but this was something I decided my daughter had to have.  So. Stinking. Cute.

4. 12 month pants - $.25-$.50 per Our 6-month-old is already in size 9 months, so I went ahead and picked up some 12 month pants. I got 4 pair of jeans and 3 pair of cords.  Not bad.
5. 9 month sleeper - $.50 It's light-weight, and adorable!
6. 9-12 month tops - $.25-$.50 per I got 5 tops, including a heavy sweater for winter and a lovely Jayhawk onsie.  She's grown out of the other ones, so this was a must-have.

7. 4T PJs - $1 per These, along with the Thomas jammies in the first pic, were purchased from the same sale and in great shape.  The Thomas ones are short-sleeved and have shorts that go with them and will be perfect for this summer!
8. 4T Cords - $2 per These were more expensive than I normally spend, but they are Gap and Old Navy brand, in great condition, and adorable.  I have a thing for cords, and these were perfect.
9. 4T Superman Tee - $1 It was an impulse buy.  He has a long-sleeved one and loves it, so I threw it in with my other stuff from this lady.

10. 6-12 month swimsuit - $2 This was my FAVORITE purchase of the day.  Isn't it adorable?  I already bought her a swimsuit for this summer, but as we plan to be at the pool 4-5 times a week this summer, we could use a backup.  This is Gymboree and in GREAT shape!  So excited about this one!

11. 4T Footed Sleepers - $2 per  Heading into summer, we obviously aren't experiencing a need for thermal footed pajamas.  But we love sleepers, and these are Carter's, in great condition, and will come in very useful in the fall and winter months, so I got them.

12. Newborn Sleeper - $.50 Okay, so this is obviously too small for my girl, but I have a baby shower for a friend in a few weeks and thought they needed this. :)

So all in all, I thought it was a great opening weekend!

TOTAL = (approx.) $25.00

At first I was a little disappointed, feeling like I had spent too much money (after all, I only saved $15 at the grocery store), but I thought about how far $25 would go at the store, or even at a consignment sale.  That and the fact that my husband thought it was all well worth $25 made me feel much better. :)

*I may or may not have also purchased a funnel cake from a Boy Scout troop fundraiser.  And spilled powdered sugar down my front while trying to drive and eat at the same time.
