I love Garage Sales!

[Boz]

My mom and I did some "serious" garage saling today! Scored a lot of deals! One place we stopped at decided that it was getting late enough and she was giving away all their baby clothes for free! And it was nice stuff! She was like "Here! Need another bag?" We took a whole hoard of it! But my mom gave her some money anyway because we felt bad for just taking it! :shock:

Besides that, I, myself, found LOTS of stuff I wanted!

Shall we begin?

First off, the ever adorable baby bunny books! :biggrin2: Costing me a total of $1.50

My three favorites

A picture from in one of the three books above. It's so cute!

Then I got a small/medium dog create! It's really nice and one that's easy to take apart! The two I have, Marley can barely fit her big fuzzy butt in them (they are the same size). So when I saw this one for $10 I asked if she'd take $5 and she did! So that cost $5!

Then I found this bunny mug for 50 cents. hehe

A Taller (3 foot maybe?) baby gate for the rabbits since they can jump over the shorter one. :grumpy: One spot pops out a little, but some hot glue and it's good as new! And it was only $1!

Oh no! I am not done!
I got this cage and all the extras with it! It fits on top of my 20 gallon high perfectly! I can use it as a tank topper for gerbils! The wheel is the right size for a gerbil and the little hidey house I can use for play time. And the water bottle will be perfect to attach to the topper. The bowl I don't have much use for. It was marked $10 and I asked it they'd take $5. They did hehe.

So I spent a total of $13 today and got all this stuff! I was super happy I got the dog create because buying a new one is so expensive and I really needed one for Marley's big butt!

What a fantastic haul of stuff!
I love love love love love yardsales!
My parents used to make that the Saturday AM ritual... tootle around the neighbour hood, buying awesome stuff (usually My Little Ponies and cracked figurines for me :biggrin2

The carrier is fantastic... I've gotten all my carriers at yardsales: best place ever!

 

[Boz]

I've never bought a carrier new either! You can find them used with a little hunting.

Same for fish tanks. I'll never buy a new one. Just a little waiting and hunting and you'll find one cheap! Plus, I don't use them for fish, so ones that don't hold water are perfect.

As long as it's in good condition, Second-hand stuff rocks!

Yard sales aren't popular here, wish they were!

I second that!

You scored all right! That crate and cage are in really mint condition. I bought that gate at a garage sale once and I look for bunny stuff too. I never was really into it until I had my own moving sale then I had a garage sale and I did extremely well and got rid of allof stuff.

I love yard sales, garage sales, auctions..well, anything like that...even dumpster diving, lol.

 

[slavetoabunny]

Can I go shopping with you? Great haul!!!!!

 

[Boz]

Thanks! And I know! I'm so happy! I'll have to get a picture of it with Marley in the create!

We went into newer subdivisions. That's the hint! Normally it's younger people with newer stuff. We went to the "Block" garage sales where like 10-30+ houses all have garage sales at the same time. So you hit lots in a short time!

Wow Breanna you sure did score!! Garage sales around here usually never have anything I'm interested in.
Good job on scoring all of the baby rabbit books! They are soo cute!

This weekend I had a yard sale! I made just enough money that I can buy the nice webcam for the bunny room that I've had my eye on. More importantly, I sold lots of stuff that I don't need anymore; now someone will be able to use it, and it's out of my house. Most of the things that were left over will be picked up by a local charity in a couple weeks. Jason's solid teak dining set didn't sell, so I think we're going to seal it and put outdoor cushions on the chairs and use it on our patio.

I'm not so good at finding great things at yard sales, though.
