I was hoping to get this up on Sunday, but that is hubby’s main day off and we are usually on the go. Then I spent the early part of the week with my sister and niece having lots of fun playtime and couldn’t find time to squeeze it all in! Sigh. That’s life I guess! 
My mother-in-law took the older girls on Saturday, so hubby and I could really focus on garage sales. It was a busy and fun day with some great sales! Here’s our recap…
- huge bag of snap-lock beads ($1)
- Baby Smart booster, 5 sets of BOB books, Snuggle Puppy board book, car seat toy ($13) **I’ve been looking for the BOB books as a complete set and was excited to make a deal on them! This booster is incredibly cool and I really want to keep it, but I guess it’s worth $60 on ebay, so not sure if Hubby is going to let me keep it! He wanted to sell the BOB books, but I said no. LOL. Our copy of Snuggle Puppy is pretty worn, so I was excited to find a new copy!

This is my recap from a couple Saturdays ago, which I didn’t get a chance to post. But I just had to share my fun finds!
I snatch up board books when I see them in good condition for cheap. This is because once board books make it into my house, they become ripped, torn, chewed on, and eventually thrown in the trash! I was happy to find some for $0.25 each and in new condition! Hubby scooped up the wooden and jigsaw puzzles for me for about $1 and $0.25 a piece. The goosebumps books he bought to resell. The bags on the top right are filled with a felt board and lots of felt pieces, for about $1 a set. Now to my favorite find of the day… these awesome alphabet animal stickers that will one day hit the walls of our playroom! I believe hubby paid $3 for them, a stinking amazing deal!
We hit a few houses that had TONS of girls clothes, ranging from 4T – size 7. And great, quality brands! I just had to stock up at $0.25 – $0.50 each! I believe I now have almost full clothing bins for the next few years!
Have YOU been thrifting lately??
The prices you got are incredible!! I love those alphabet wall stickers! Your husband has a great eye! Friday is our last day of school…then I’ll be out in full force! Can’t wait! Thanks for linking up!!
He really does!! He knows what I like and what I am looking for. It’s great! He wakes up super early and usually takes whichever kid is up. Then when I wake up with the other two, he comes back for us. Sometimes, though, he has already hit up several garage sales and spent half our money! lol! Thanks for hosting the link up! I can’t wait to see what you and your family find this weekend!
I would LOVE to find Bob books in a set like that!!! I’ve been wanting to get them for so long. Good for you for telling hubby no to re-selling…..I feel that conflict myself sometimes when I find something to re-sell, but know my kids would love it. Sometimes I just have to tell myself….’you don’t need to sell every good deal you find Jessica’ lol….it’s a little addicting sometimes.
What a wonderful find on the clothes! I would’ve done the exact same thing and stocked up on those sizes. You’re right, they are SO hard to find! I will be looking for those same sizes here this year. I figure the more that I can find now, the less I will have to worry about it later. There might be a ton of sales this year with that size and then next year there would be none and I would be kicking myself for not buying it this year.
I was really excited about all those clothes that I got at the mom2mom! They seem to be really popular right now around here and there are 2 more on May 5th that I plan on going to in some nicer areas around here (I’m hoping nicer areas means nicer stuff). I really need some new baby gear for this new little one since we got rid of all of our stuff last year. lol Anyway, great finds!
Yay to awesome finds! I have been getting some nice scores lately too. My best recent one (since the blog is on hiatus until after my LO comes) was a ton of 1991 Playskool doll house dolls and 2 houses for $15. I sold all the dolls and accessories for $55. I could have sold the houses later at consignment for something, but we are in the middle of moving and my nesting/cleaning stage is in full gear so I just donated them to my husband’s aunt’s yard sale for her mission trip.
You can always sell the Bob books to me in a few years if you are done with them and not have to pay any Ebay fees
You can always give hubby that reassuring note.
Oh and I picked up the same Melissa and Doug puzzle and similar fireman jacket (no hat) for a $1. I sold the jacket at consignment for $7 and it went a little quick – so I am sure if you were to sell it that it would get more, esp. with Halloween being close to the next set of sales.
Thanks for posting your finds. It really blesses me because I just love to look at other people’s yard sale loot.
