Garage Sale Finds

 

I love garage selling!!! I think I go with my Mom and Sister about 2x a month or more.

Last weekends deals filled my entire car up to the point that I couldn’t see out my back window!! Here are some of the items I got.

Everything was for Cohen. I did not get one thing for myself!

A snow suit for Cohen size 3T.  A paid of shoes, a t-shirt and a pair of shorts.

Cohen got lots of new really fun toys that he LOVES! I paid $.50/$1.00 for each toy.  Some of these toys are still $10 at Once Upon a  Child.

Then on our way home, we drove by a garage sale that we weren’t planning on stopping at. We were all getting pretty tired. That was until I thought I saw a child's Anywhere Chair from Pottery Barn! I had been recently doing a lot of research on these and my Mom was going to get him one for his birthday. Sure enough it was an Anywhere Chair!! Not only one but two of them!! They were monogrammed “Cooper” and “Carter” which worked out great since Cohen has a cousin named Carter! For now, we have just been calling Cohen “Cooper”.( Ironically, those were my 2 top boy names before we decided on Cohen and I still hope to have a “Cooper” one day)

We walked away from that garage sale only paying $5 for each chair!!! Now I just have to order a new cover for it with Cohen’s name on it. The price brand new for the chair is $130 +tax and shipping.  Mine will be $45. $5 for the chair and $40 for the cover.

  

I guess you have to be a mom to get excited over sippy cups for $.25 each. My sister called me a sippy cup hoarder when I wanted to buy every one they had. These sippy cups are $4.00 each in stores! I got 9 of them and plan to give the girl ones to my friend Kimmy. I also got 11 Dr. Brown bottles that have hardly been used. Those were $.25 each as well but I bought a bunch of stuff  from them, along with a hose winder thing and gave him $10 bucks for it all. I have packed the bottles away for my next child, or I will sell them on eBay. Either way, I couldn’t pass up brand new bottles for $.25 each!

I am happy with my Saturday findings. I do need a bigger house though soon since this chair takes up half my living room. It is the oversized one which will fit him until he is married =) Well, maybe not that far, but I can fit it! So he will not be outgrowing it for many years!

It’s half the size of my couch! (please excuse the messy room)
