Garage Saling

Last weekend Chad and I had a date night. 
This means that all of the kids went to spend the night with the Grandpas.
The house is so quiet!

Anyhow, Saturday morning our neighborhood and the one next to us were having their spring garage sales.
The whole neighborhoods.
We busted out the old bikes and went riding.

We started at 7:30am and got home at 11:30am with only one unloading stop.
My bike has a little platform thing on the back to carry things, so we used one of our reusable grocery bags and tied it up when it got full.

Then at one of the garage sales (after unloading), we bought a crate and square bucket for $.50.
That helped haul more.
Here's our load . . .

That orange crate is FULL of boys clothes.
Total of all that boys clothes: $2.
They basically gave it away.
Some of it is a size or two bigger, but a good lot of it will fit Isaac now.
Yes!
The Star Wars backpack was only $1, as were the Cadoo game and Lego Island computer game.
And Olivia has a birthday gift in there (but I can't tell you what it is because she might read this!).  It was only $2 and the score of the day.
Most of the books were $.10 with some at $.25 and a few at $.50.

A close up of all the books . . .

Lots of Magic Treehouse, some classics, some other various ones.
We also found (for free) an anatomy coloring book.
And it's really detailed.  It's one of the thick books on the bottom left stack.
Very cool.

Grand total we only spent about $25. 
If all this were retail it would be way over $200.
I love garage sales!
